How far apart should subwoofers be placed?

Try to keep the sub within 4 or 5 feet of the left or right front speakers. Which leads to my next bit of advice, don't put the subwoofer in a corner. Granted, there are significant advantages to corner placement, mainly that in a corner the sub will produce more bass, with lower distortion.

How close can subwoofers be to each other?

However, if your subwoofer is of the ported variety, first try to get it as far away from the wall as possible. A good rule of thumb is around 6” from a wall or corner, or more if you can get away with it.

How far apart should dual subwoofers be?

Typical dual subwoofer positioning methods are shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2. That is the most common positioning method for veteran players with a two-channel Hi-End audio experience.

Where should I place my second subwoofer?

Down-firing subwoofers can never be placed on their side. They are intended to use the floor to amplify the bass. Orienting them on their side will result in a disproportionate amount of bass being amplified through the air.

What dB should I set my subwoofer?

Most people find that 70 or 75 dB on your SPL meter at your listening seat is a comfortable playback level. While 85 dB SPL is often used for THX movie theaters, that level is simply too loud for most listeners with test signals in the confines of an average-sized home theater or living room.

Can 2 subwoofers face each other?

In short, yes. Subwoofers can face each other as long as both subwoofers are wired correctly. In fact, subwoofers play louder when they are facing each other. If one of the subwoofers is wired incorrectly, its output audio signal will be out of phase with the other subwoofer, and this can cause phasing issues.

Do subwoofers sound better facing up?
