I just discovered that my couch is in a bass null. Guess that subwoofer placement does matter, doesn't it?

I need to work on my sub placement as well. I notice as I leave the room towards our front entry way to the house, the low bass seems to be much more emphasized in that location. I don't notice it as much when I'm actually in the room.

Yeah, I'm not sure exactly what it is, but when I get a few feet closer in the direction of the sub, it sounds much more full. Maybe our resident room/sub expert will hop in here... John... I promise I'll try to read everything you say instead of glazing over!

Willso7, aren't you sacrificing quality of Sub sound by enclosing the sub in a closet? Alan, from Axiom and others have mentioned many times that subs should normally not be enclosed in anything.

My bass is also kept in a closet. I keep it in it's case though with its strap and a spare cable.

Sir Quack,
Yeah, I have a long narrow bathroom, and if I leave the door to the foyer open, which opens to the living room, the deep bass from the EP500 is spectacular anywhere in the bathroom. It's obviously a standing wave, which may boost the bass at some frequencies by 10 to 20 dB, but I also think that the dimensions of the bathroom somehow "load" or tune the frequency making it seem more powerful.
I used to believe that you had to be the full wavelength distant from a subwoofer to hear ultra-low frequencies, which would mean 30 feet or more for really low stuff, but, as it turns out, that's not true, because a good car subwoofer will pressurize the relatively tiny car interior (as long as you keep the windows closed), making frequencies at 20 Hz and deeper audible.
It's always a compromise with furniture layout, listener location and subwoofer placement, unless you have the funds and the space for four subwoofers, or even two subs. (My old mentor, Dr. Floyd E. Toole, found that four subwoofers produced the most even distribution of deep bass for a variety of listening locations in a typical living room.)
Regards,
Alan Lofft, Axiom Resident Expert (Retired)

It's time to throw your bass a coming out party.

Alan just put quotation marks around the word "load" while talking about the "bass" in his bathroom...classic stuff, really.
