hi mike. really it depends on your room and your prefernces, and the sub, to an extent. there is TONS of info on this subject and it all pretty much holds true. corners load the room and can be "boomy". out from the corner results in smoother response but less output. the method most often suggested, is placinf the sub in your listening position and crawl around the room till you hear the best sound and that is the idel place for the sub. go to av123.com and search subwoofer calibration. there is an extensive paper on the subject.
