When using a pair of VA-1215XII subwoofers in stereo, it is preferable to place each subwoofer adjacent to the satellite of the same channel.

Keep in mind that frequency response and output level can be drastically influenced by plac ement dep ending on the acoustic propert ies of the listening room. Typically the VA-121 5XII will sound louder when placed next to a wall or in a corn er.
