Sub at the weakest bass point in a room?


Has anyone gotten good results placing a sub in the weakest bass point. For me that is the center of the room in both directions. I know I should try it and see, but it’s heavy to move and I thought it would be okay to ask first.

Miller is the most important advocate of the distributed bass array cult, and he's' exactly why I won't engage with any of them.
If this is your only sub, then you are going backwards. :)

Put the sub in your listening location, and measure the bass at your possible locations.  When you find the location with the smoothest bass, that's where you want to put your sub.

If this is your first sub and you are placing a second, then your approach is correct.

Also, remember that bass traps and EQ help fix what placement cannot. I wrote about this more here:
