Re: Down-firing sub on hard surface tweak...

171.75.14.99

I have a REL Strata II and tried it in locations all over my room.....then I got in the mail a Mapleshade catalogue that had a tweaks section. It said for best sonic performance of a sub to side fire it out to the side wall and avoid firing front, back, or down. I thought this was a little crazy but I tried it and in my system there's a perceived change in better tone but especially "tightness"

My room is small (11' x 10' x 8' to 12' cathedral) on concrete slab with ceramic tile and a huge area rug covering most of the floor, 4' tall bags of fiberglas in the corners and pillows on the side walls at the first reflection points.......I believe I've only scratched the surface to treat the room
