POSITIONING AND FITTING OF FEET As a subwoofer produces low frequencies only, it is difficult to detect its location by ear. It can therefore be placed anywhere in the room, but it is worth experimenting to find the optimum position. Bass output will increase next to a wall or especially in a corner; so use the volume control to compensate if moving your subwoofer around.
