I’m getting two subwoofers for my new home theater, and am in a dilemma as to where to place them.
I know opposing corners is an optimal placement, and indeed this is possible in my situation. In those two corners, the subwoofer would be uniquely unsightly.
Placing the to either side (outside) of my left and right channel towers is NOT possible.
What is possible is to have them on either side (inside) of towers. So the order is:
left channel -- subwoofer 1 -- center -- subwoofer 2 -- right channel
(Please see attached photo).
https://pasteboard.co/HGb3bQL.jpgThe problem is there’s not much room, and everything’s fairly squeezed. Also, the subwoofers would be placed inside a built-in wall cabinet (the front would be covered by a fabric, the sides and top plywood, and the back a wall).
I know this arrange will be far from ideal, but my question is how much of an impact should I expect compared to placing it in the ideal opposing corners setup? Is it a problem having the two subwoofers (1) so closer together and (2) placed into an enclosure?
