listening area of your room, placing the subwoofer inside the “shaded” areas will typically result in
best bass performance. Corner placement provides the most bass, but sometimes at the expense of
accuracy. A subwoofer placed near a wall usually provides a good balance of quantity and accuracy.
Controls on the back panel of your subwoofer are provided to align your subwoofer’s output to the other
speakers in your system, see section below on “Fine Tuning.”
Placement Inside a Cabinet Or Cavity
The ForceField subs, because of their unique low-frequency radiation properties, can be placed inside a cabinet
or cavity and still provide excellent in-room performance. Just be sure to leave at least 2 inches of clearance on
the front of the subwoofer.
The Advantage of Using Two Subwoofers
Although a single GoldenEar Technology ForceField subwoofer provides exceptional performance and
substantial output, the quality and quantity of bass can be further improved with the use of two (or even four)
subwoofers. This allows you to randomize the standing waves within your listening room so that bass will be
distributed in a more uniform manner. Two (or more) subwoofers also provide even lower distortion, especially
at high output levels.

the following guidelines in mind when deciding on the best subwoofer placement:
