Audio Set-up Question? - Blu-ray Forum

xtreme02gt · 02-17-2010, 08:16 PM

I am going to buy ( 2 ) eD A2-300 and I am wanting to set both of the subs up front between the TV and the front towers like this:

Left tower -- eD A2-300 -- TV -- eD A2-300 -- Right tower

Like this: Picture is not my HT. Just using as a example

Will it still sound good?

Is the room open beyond that door?

Room dimensions can affect bass significantly. That Bay window may introduce an issue in the response as well. I would suggest that you try a few positions, and see which works best in your room.

Other two sub positions are:

diagonal - one up front on one side, the other in the back on the other side

Vertical - one up front middle, the other middle back(not likely with your stand)

Horizontal - one on left side middle, one on right side middle

Yes it is open beyond the door, room size is 25x15.

That in combination with the bay window on the other side could make placement difficult. If I were to guess, your optimal set up would be with a sub front right and left back, but I would still suggest moving them around a few times if possible.

woah! i was wondering why you'd give up gothams for eD's!

anyways, saw the pictures in your gallery, and it CAN work, but you'd be better off with the layout big daddy suggested in another thread.

again, it really depends on the layout of the room, plus the livability factor so to speak.

just my two cents.

But, what if I can't use any of those? Cause the room was built stupid. 25 feet long and 15 feet wide

That's actually not a problem. As I understand it, the worst room for acoustics would be a cube where the dimensions of the room are the same in all directions. I think the square rooms in the diagrams are just for illustration purposes. You can still try any of the afore-mentioned suggestions.

jlafrenz · 02-18-2010, 02:28 AM

How is that stupid? It is actually better that your room is a rectangle than a square as shown in the picture. You can still use those positions as guides for your sub placement. Every room is different so there is no one way that works best. Have you thought about doing a bass crawl to see where in your room your subs would be best?

My room is 24' x 12' & jomari is correct with his suggestions on placement . having them around the room will dispurse the bass better ~ that will sound better . I have three subs around the room & the bass is great coming from all around you .
