Hey Guys -
I have a question about placement of my new subwoofer, both in terms of acoustics and cooling for its amp. It's a Miller & Kreisel V-125. It's my first subwoofer, so any help appreciated!
I'm attaching a sketch of my listening room (apologies for the quality). At the moment, the subwoofer is in the corner: but despite all I'm told about bass being non-directional, I can certainly hear that the sound is coming from the left side. I could move it more directly in front of my listening point, almost equidistant between the main speakers.
BUT there's a complication. In the instructions, the manufacturers say that the rear of the sub should be one foot front the wall for cooling. It's a pretty large sub already, and moving it 12" from the wall would be damn near impossible. Right now I can move the rear of the sub away from the wall since it's in the corner.
Can anyone advise please? I've noticed that the cooling fins don't even get warm when I'm using it (or leaving it on standby). I don't listen at high volumes (if that makes a difference). Could I sneak it a bit closer to the wall?
Thanks in advance
