Actually, there are many articles discussing placing the sub up near the front sound stage for best performance. I know many people that tried the behind the couch thing, but ultimately ended up placing it up near the front near field the mains.



That's exactly what I ended up doing. I purchased a good length of cable to be able to place my sub in different test locations and found that up front ended up sounding the best. The manufacturer recommended not placing the sub at a corner near an open adjoinging room; they were quite right. In my case, moving the sub next to the right main enhanced its sound performance substantially. In the end though, it all comes down to what sounds best...after tweaking the sub of course for the different room test locations. I spent the entire weekend having this type of fun - lol!
