Corner Placement
This is the advice most often given because it usually yields a "loud" bass signal, however corner mounting
also may cause the SUB-1500 to sound monotone and extra boomy on music. If excessive bass volume is
your goal, this may be the answer for you and is worth trying.

Symmetrical Placement
Avoid putting the SUB-1500 the same distance from two walls. For example, if you have a 20' wide room, don't
put the SUB-1500 10' from each wall. Similarly, don't put the SUB-1500 at equal distances from the floor to
ceiling. Instead, stagger the distances to each wall by at least 15%.
