Usually people put the subwoofer in a corner to excite all room modes. However, in some situations, the subwoofer sounds boomy. Another location is next to you seating area or the middle of the front or side walls. The best way is to use the crawl technique to find the best location in your room.

Go to A Guide to Subwoofers thread. Scroll about half way down. You will find guidelines on subwoofer placement. The second part of the guide has a section on subwoofer crawl technique and a link to a video by Axiom audio.

Ah. Thank you for that, Big Daddy. I must say your Subwoofer guide is very informative and very easy to read and follow. Much appreciated, as there are terms I did not know before or how to connect the sub properly to your Receiver and what settings you should use. Now, I can do it properly next year when I upgrade both my Receiver and Projector as I move onto Blu Ray Home Theater.

on a lighter sidenote, your subwoofer amplifier does most of the work in reproducing the lower frequencies, thus freeing up the receivers amplifiers to perform 'better' so to speak.
