Can you put your Sub near your Plasma? - Blu-ray Forum

DezNutz · 11-25-2008, 09:20 PM

I know older CRT TV's you had to keep your sub a distance away from your TV.

My question is can you put the sub close to your plasma or LCD? I ask as I bought this stand for my new 58" 800u Panasonic Plasma, and it shows a sub directley underneath the set. Can, or should you do this?

i'm pretty sure lcds and plasmas aren't effected by magnets. also, a lot of subs have shielding anyways.

side note: i don't think i'd put a sub on that anyways because of possible rattling etc.

My brothers LCD says not to put non shielded speakers next to it

I'm sure you can..... but more importantly, putting the sub in the position shown on the picture, is going to cause rattling etc..... You should really put your sub on a piece of carpet, but that's just my opinion....

put the palm of your hand on the screen
can you feel the vibe

vibe is not your friend....

DezNutz · 11-25-2008, 11:23 PM

so as long as it does not cause rattling it is alright? I think I could stop rattling but was worried about the magnets..

My answer: Yes.

Yes for sure i have 2 subs one on both sides of my plasma.
No problems

that pic on top is just ridiculas,i think we all agree its probably one of the worst places it could be,never put your sub on a stand with your T.V and equipment LOL

But the picture looks nice

Safety reasons aside. I'm pretty sure the sub shouldnt go that close to the TV anyway for good audio reasons. I believe your sub should be at least 3 feet horizontally from your set for good acoustics.

every room is different. there's no rule where you should have your sub 3 feet from your tv for acoustics.

thx says you should put your sub precisely where you say you shouldn't. http://thx.com/home/setup/speakers/sub.html

In a perfect world, that would be alright.

In a THX cinema the sub is usually behind the screen which does not affect audio properties, not an LCD/Plasma/RP.
