Positioning the subwoofer
A subwoofer can be used to enhance the bass performance of
your system dramatically. The subwoofer can be positioned
anywhere in the room, because it is not possible to locate the
source of deep tones. Nevertheless, you should not place the
subwoofer in the middle of a room, since the bass could be
severely weakened. Do not place any object on the subwoofer.
