POWERED SUBWOOFER Ultimately, the amount and quality of bass you get in your room are dependent on the room itself. Low frequency bass sounds are affected most by the size of the room and the method of construction used to build it. All rooms are different when it comes to reproducing bass, and in any given room, bass quantity and quality changes when the sub- woofer is moved from one location to another. A simple rule to remember is that you get more bass when you move the subwoofer towards a

POWERED SUBWOOFER 9. USING MULTIPLE SUBWOOFERS Using two (or more) subwoofers in your system gives you the ultimate in bass performance. You'll hear improved impact and definition, as well as greater output and dynamic range. If multiple subwoofers are used, place them in the same location. Stacking is best, but you can also put them side by side. Alternately, you can put multiple subwoofers in different locations. This is appropriate when you have limited choices in locating the subwoo
