Back facing to wall was the worst, and not much difference between straight facing and side facing, so left the sub in straight facing. In fact, I also changed around the sub facing from straight to sides, and all the way to back facing. Moved the subwoofer by 2 foot to the front and tested, Can't say there is much difference. Unfortunately, I do not have the luxury of testing another subwoofer in this room.

I seem to have bass standing waves in the room. Lowering the subwoofer level lowers overall bass and feels like there is no subwoofer, when I have it as is after the calibration it can be muddy in some instances. So, placement of the Subwoofer has became limited and is on front in between Centre and front speaker I now have a leather couch in the back wall, toy storing cabinet and toy tent in the room along with lots of toys (Between starting to build this and now, I have had a baby and room became more of a toy room than media room ). So I had started with some Acoustics pin-boards in colours and stuck them on wall, which has improved the brightness in audio (High frequency), Also have some Acoustics absorber foam behind the fronts and centre speaker, and added two bass trap in back two lower corners. Initially, this was an empty room without any chairs sofa or any furniture of kind. As I increase the volume, this becomes rather too much for enjoyable movie experience. rest of the frequency is fine along with the all of Dolby Amaze demo except that Thundercloud strike. To narrow down the frequency, I ran bass frequency youtube video, and in that I found the Subwoofer becomes very high at 40hz and 45hz, as it seems to be at its peak, subwoofer does goes low to 15hz. However, I find the Subwoofer can be bit overwhelming in some instance.įor test I am using Dolby Amaze Demo with Dolby Atmos 7.2 True HD Lossless audio (From digital theatre demo downloads).ĭuring this demo the Thundercloud strike (0.38 minute to 0.40 minute into clip) goes boom and very much overwhelms the room with boomy bass and I find everything rattles. Overall sound is great, I like how this setup sounds. Size: W 3.8m x L 4.0m x H 2.7m, carpeted floor with plasterboards on walls.ĭue to size of the room I am limited in the placement of subwoofer. Room: Room with a single standard door entry. Subwoofer: SVS SB-2000 (seated on top of Auralex subdude ii)

I am using the Q Acoustics 3020 with Sansui amp for stereo listening.įront height: Sony SSCSE Atmos enabled top firing speakers

I also have Q Acoustics 3020 for fronts but decided to use these old Aiwa due to their size, sound and as they are floor standers, I don't need to use stands. I need help with my subwoofer and its frequency response as it is too high in some frequency.įront Speakers: Aiwa 3-Way Floor Standers (Not sure about the model as these are Vintage and very old and Very Big, but sound good.).
