Eddie, it isn't entirely clear from your description how your listening area is laid-out, especially the 20' front wall compared to the 10' back wall. Nevertheless, the idea of placing two subs at the opposite midpoints of either the side walls or the front and back wall(to minimize the effect of room modes, as researched in the Harmon paper and also summarized by Alan in this month's Axiom newsletter)requires that they be placed at the side(or front and back)walls, even if that isn't considered part of your regular "listening area".

Here's the best I can do without drawing tools:
_________________________________________________________________ l TV l l FL C FL l l l l l l l RLS RRS l______________________________ l l l l l l l l l__________________________________ This is the shape of my room with location of speakers. How would you suggest I place the subs.

No it certainly didn't. But if you can picture the middle line as the back wall of my listening area and draw an imaginary line from the right edge of the middle line you have my listening area, Left and right speakers are about 6 inches from each side and about 12" from the front wall. I have a couch butted up against the mid wall and my surrounds pretty are pretty much line up with the fron speakers over the couch against the mid wall. In my picture I was trying to give the impress of the inverted C nature of my basement. The front wall extends another 8 feet right of the imaginary marker and then extends about 20 feet down. My question is do I keep one sub along the imaginary axis or extend it all the way right against the sliding door closets on the right that aren't really in the confines of my listening area. I hope this explains things better.

Eddie, I think that I've got the rough idea of the layout. These positioning concepts we keep referring to are designed for a more symmetrical arrangement, but my thought would be to try a front/back wall(yes, right behind the couch)combination, with the axis being the middle of the 10' back wall.

I have no room behind the couch. The couch butts up agains that mid wall. Any other suggestions?

Here's another attempt at describing my room
LFS___________________TV_______________RFS_______________________ ______________________CS_______________************************** l l Right Wall------------------------------------------------------>
l l l l l l l l l lLSS__________________Couch________________RSP Midwall_____________________________________(End of back wall)***
StairCase___________________________________(end of Stair Case)**
Backroom Area _________________________________________________________________ Where should the subs go? Can I put one sub i the open area on the right side or must it butt up against a wall?

Deleted my post.
I was making fun of his ASCII drawing by inferring that it meant he must secretly be this person in real life, followed by an ASCII picture of Dilbert. The picture turned out crappy though and I have no time to fix it.
