The Importance of Location

As earlier mentioned, room acoustics have an enormous impact on the sound of speakers, especially subwoofers. A phenomenon called "standing waves" makes bass response uneven from place to place in your room. To experience with this yourself, put on a CD with a strong, consistent bass line. Notice how the volume of the bass goes up and down as you move around the room. Stand in one place and then squat down. You will probably notice that the bass changes in the vertical plane as well! Because a subwoofer's location affects how standing waves are created, the first step to getting accurate bass response is finding the right spots for your SUB-1500 and your listening position.

Most sound is distributed through the middle of the room leading to skewed standing wave presence.
