Subwoofer Question

Those frequencies can be directional due to intensity/level/loudness.  If the frequecies for the sub are recorded stronger in one channel or the other it will pull the image toward the sub.

@emuagogo  No.  Just…no.  If the sub is properly located and calibrated it will not pull images toward the sub, and if it does that’s because of very poor setup by someone who has no idea what they’re doing.

Thanks to everyone who helped me figure this out.

I lowered my crossover to what Im guessing is around 40 Hz and that solved the problem. I was probably getting overlap from 50-75 Hz and surprisingly that’s enough to pull my imaging over about a foot. I know, super nit picky but the way my room is set up if the center image is off you can tell. Visually. And that was bugging me!  I know, enjoy the music, well now I can...

Congrats!  Glad to hear all is well. 

as a data point to the thread for me it was different with different subwoofers.  even with low xo , e.g. 45 hz and steep 28db slope my SVS SB 3000 was directional and pulled the image.  

REL T9i was also directional.  

JL Audio D110 placed in a corner was not directional.  

may be caused by enclosure resonance.

i believe the issue may be caused by enclosure resonance well above 80 hz.
