Asa with main speakers just putting time into placemtn can be very time comsuming (to the point of being maddening!) but can make more differnce than anything else in a system.One would obviously place the sub nest to the rear wall to re-inforce the amount of bass but how far into the corner and than setting the crossover point and volume can take a lot of time.But just like main speakers when you have it right I liken the effect to linning the two halves of the circles in a Camers's focus.It can with speaker placement dramatically snap into focus.Time and experimentation can really pay off.
Sub Set up Final Exam Question
I have a pair of Vienna Acoustic Beethovens in the Front, cables are only about 8-12 from source. My rear speakers are Vienna Haydn's. Those wires go around the side of my house in the rear (Home theatre set up), 30-45 feet. My subwoofer is the same, about 30 feet, same as the left rear. I have a new Titan Le I am breaking in. Everything works off my Denon 5803amp. I am hooking up the sub to my amp's, "Theatre Out" connection, on a single coax cable. Lastly, rather than placing the sub next to the mains, it is in the rear left (right if facing the rear wall) courner. Please help me with some ideas on Phasing. I am getting some weird overlapping bass.
