Should you use a subwoofer when mixing?
Are you a producer of electronic music? If the answer is yes, a subwoofer can absolutely benefit your practice, but it may not be essential. A subwoofer can help with sound-design choices, arrangement decisions, the always-coveted drop, and other factors that move crowds to dance.
Is a subwoofer worth it for music?
Sure, a subwoofer is a bass-thumping juggernaut, but that's only scratching the surface. A great subwoofer helps take away the heavy lifting from your loudspeakers, improving your overall system. The dynamics are more compelling, the soundstage widens, and the stereo imaging becomes more accurate.
Where do you put the subwoofer when mixing?
The biggest recommendation when it comes to setting things up is your studio subwoofer placement. You want to place the subwoofer in the middle between your two studio monitors. With low-end frequencies, you don't want to be able to hear where the bass is coming from. You want to feel it everywhere equally.
Where should a subwoofer be placed in a small room?
A subwoofer placed in the corner of a room may increase the subwoofer's output – causing the sub to sound louder. Try placing your subwoofer in a corner and see how it sounds. However, depending on your floor space, a corner might not be a viable option for your subwoofer if it's too far from your listening area.
Do audiophiles use subwoofers?
Most audiophiles don't use subs, so they're missing out on great bass. Obviously, if you're using stand-mounted speakers without a sub, you're not getting deep bass. But even if you're using a big pair of tower speakers, you're probably not getting good bass.

Most find setting sub about 3 to 6db higher sounds "better" especially since most listen at less than reference level.
Can I place subwoofer behind me?
You can place a subwoofer behind you or in the back of the room but this is likely not going to be the most optimal location. Ideally, the subwoofer should be placed at the front of the room pulled at least 6-inches away from the wall for the best low-frequency audio signal performance.
