The corner is a great place if you need to increase the apparent out put of the sub, however I always got a flat response and better integration with my main speakers when I placed the sub on the wall between the speakers. Moral - don't assume, try out your sub in several locations and make the cross over point as low as possible (considering the nature of your main speakers) to keep the mono signal from the sub in the same range as the "mono" signal from the main speakers.
Subwoofer placement question digagram included
I guess the usual place for subwoofer is in the corner of the room. For the downfiring subwoofers(specifically Rel Strata III), is it ok to put it where 3 sides will be walls, although one of the wall is very short(14" high). what'll be the difference compared to plain corner? Any reason is it better worth
full length wall
