My room is 11' x 16' with mains along the narrow wall. Initially placed the sub next to the left main on the TV side. I discovered I had a bad low frequencey null right at the "sweet spot" listening position. SPL would vary by up to 6 DB by moving one seating position right or left of center. This weekend moved the sub to halfway between mains and seating position along the left wall and rotated it 90 degrees (it faces center of room). Reversed the phase with the mains and null is virtually gone. No more than 2 db difference across the seating positions.
Subwoofer Question
Has anyone setup a subwoofer at 90° off axis to the listening position and gotten it to integrate well?
My sub is currently near the front wall between the two satellites, and sounds quite good there. However, because of my limited space I may have to move it halfway between the mains and the listening position, and place it on a side wall. It's a front firing sub with an external[separate] amp/crossover. The room is 12 by 16 feet, with the mains on the narrow wall.
I don't have a dedicated listening room. This is a bedroom that also serves as an office/home theater/music room, so space is VERY cramped. I'm very hesitant to do this, but would like to hear of any success stories if there are any.
Thanks.
