New system!!

Put the subwoofer close to the main speakers: Even though bass sounds are not localized, you will get a better blending between the main speakers and the subwoofer if they are on the same side of the room.

Not true. Not true at all. It all depends on the frequency response of your room. If the subwoofer is integrated properly...something most people have no clue how to do...low frequencies should not be localized. If they are not localized, they will blend with the rest of the system regardless of where the speakers are located. One thing the vast majority of people do is set the volume of the sub way too loud. A lot of folks say "I like it boomy!" In actuality what they are saying is "I like it muddy". A good tip is, if you can point to where the sub is with your eyes closed...it is too loud.

Another tip...never place your seating in the center of the room.
