Subwoofer Position
Generally, subwoofers have the most output when placed in
the corner of a room. However, this can also exaggerate the
subwoofers output making blending difficult. We recommend start-
ing by placing the subwoofer in a corner. If, after the full range
of tuning techniques have been employed, the subwoofer sounds
like it has too much upper bass energy try pulling it away from
the wall, toward the listening position. This will lessen the rein-
forcement of these problematic frequencies from the wall and likely
smooth out the response. Repeat the tuning techniques with the
woofer controls after you move it.

Installing in a Cabinet
When placing the subwoofer inside of a cabinet it is recommend-
ed that you use a front-firing configuration and that there be a
minimum of three inches of open space between the cabinet and
the front and back sides.
