Sub placement


Many speaker manufactures recomend placing the sub in your listening spot,then go around the room and find where it sounds the best. Where it sounds the best is where they say to put the sub. I have 2 foward firing subs. Does any one have any idea what direction I would place the sub when I find the spot? Has anyone had any luck with this method?

Sub placement is too complicated. Ditch it and get some speakers that slready put out decent bass...
Or, experiment. I think placing one sub just to the outside or right in front of each speaker might be best, try that.
Another option would be to place the sub in your listening chair, crawl around the room, find out where it sounds best and then adjust your monitors accordingly so that they sound best also, in your new listening position on your hands and knees in the corner of your room.
Seriously though, just get some speakers that have decent bass to begin with; if not, you'll always wonder if the sub is just muddying the waters and whether or not it's fast enough to keep pace with your monitors. I liked subs for about a month, then I realized a good set of speakers is all you need for the best bass response (vandersteens made me come to this conclusion, blame them, not me ). If you want really deep, big boom, go with a sub. If you want mixed well, articulate, fast, look into speakers. Just my oppinion.
