Andrew, I have a suggestion for a video. I had a new open concept house built and the center speaker had to be boosted 4db, as I could not hear the voices and listening to music beat my eardrums to death. Come to find out these more modern houses with wood floors and open concept suffer from echo effects that can make even great speakers sound hash and horrid. I have been working through simple solutions with my Facebook audio groups and my wife and myself made some drastic improvements today without compromising our esthetics! A video covering open concepts, noise damping etc, would be helpful to many. You have a way of making your videos deliver complex problems and complex solutions seem easy. I sure if you had one covering this that I would not have taken so long explaining why and what we needed to do to my better half. Thanks for what you bring to the community! -marc Austin TX

Finally broke down and added a sub to my vintage 2 channel system, a Klipsch R-10SWi. I mostly stream via a Bluesound Node 2i. So my CD as well as Tidal runs through the 2i. The sub connected to the Node's sub out. On initial install, I was ready to pack the sub up for a return. Sounded like a bad boom box regardless of the gain/roll off setting. Luckily, for the sub, found this video. Used this technique to properly set and position. Thanks to the sub being wireless, the setup was just a matter of sitting it in my listening position. Much better. Found that the Sub-out on a Node is active regardless of the setting in BluOS. In either setting the volume control in BluOS will match the signal going to the sub. Can't say that Scott LaFaro's bass now makes angels cry, but it does widen the sound-stage for most of the music I listen to.

[@darellcarter1038]

Older video, but it was awesome! I have my system coming in a couple of days, and I am excited to start setting up! Love the channel!

[@epi2045]

In my bedroom I use two Sunfire subs. I originally had two 12” inchers. However I ended up replacing the one in the corner with a 10” and the 12” was closer to my bedroom door which had a small hallway. I struggled for two weeks messing with all the settings and I was amazed how things settled simply by changing the subwoofer. I run two subs not for more thump... but at lower volumes, the bass is more lively and effective.

[@immanuelsuresh7739]

Do you mean instead of having two 12" sub , one 10" & another 12" is an better option?

[@epi2045]

Immanuel Suresh In my situation it was the right solution because my room isn’t symmetrical and where the subs were located, the 10” in the corner and 12” near my doorway/entrance worked better. In general two same sized subs are more ideal.

[@TylerStout]

I think a small tweaks for improved sound would be useful for a lot of people. Stuff like proper speaker placement, removing as many reflections as possible like moving center to front edge of cabinet, thick rug if you have hardwood floors, proper toe in and how to check it with pink noise, filling speaker stands with sand are the few ideas that come to mind. I just bought a Umik-1 and a 35ft subwoofer cable to help with setting up my duals better. Also you shouldn't set the distance of the sub exactly to the physical distance as there is going to be some signal delay especially if you have a wireless module.

[@grandmasteraj855]

This video couldn’t have come at a better time because I just bought my first home theater sub. Been running the Jamo HCs 803 5.0. Added the atmos and finally bought the sub.

Good day, I recently picked up a Klipsch R120 from the Christmas in July sale...what I found is that "perfect" for one song was too much on another. Obviously not an issue with movies but on many tracks I do find myself turning down the volume on the sub... like from 12 to 10. Just sharing initial impression. Gear used is Marantz nr1200. emotiva basx 300 and focal 936. Great vid u guys.

Hi Andrew, great video. Simple and effective. I did not understand one aspect though. What is the reference point of decibel level that we shoud use when caliberating the speakers and sub-woofer using decible meter

[@andrewrobinsonreviews]

I use 75dB. Some folks prefer a higher volume. I don't listen in excess of 100dB THAT often, so I find 75dB works well for me.

[@louisd95714]

This is very easy to understand, and to the point of context.

[@ChuckSimet]

Question about orientation after you find the best location... with a rear-ported sub, should the main driver face outwards from the wall (port facing the wall) or parallel to the wall (driver and port aligned parallel to the wall)? Does it make any huge difference?

[@PowerTom286]

There was quite some new facts I didn't know yet, Andrew. If you set the Subwoofer 180° to the main speakers, you should turn the Phase to 180° or Reverse, too I love the Outtakes

[@NoonianSoong403]

When doing the crawl, I would recommend playing a clean sine wave in the 25hz to 80hz range, like 45hz for example, instead of playing music. I used a DAW (Ableton Live) to generate various frequencies easily, but that's pretty difficult for most people, so you can probably find KZbin videos of specific frequencies. Listening to music is a lot harder when doing the crawl. If you're able to control a clean sine frequency, you can also hear the exact frequencies that cabinets start to rattle, because rattles happen in very tight specific ranges, so you wouldn't be able to find them just listening to music. I had a wall mounted fire extinguisher rattling at 40hz, and it was an easy fix, just separated it from the wall a bit. But everything in the room will rattle at different frequencies, so you have to slowly go up in frequencies to hear each of those rattles separately.

This is my go-to video when helping people set up their subwoofers.

[@bikdav]

With subwoofers, can you present a video on adding and setting up a subwoofer in a two channel system without a subwoofer out. This is particularly common with vintage receivers and amps.

[@moonfly1]

You can typically take a full range phono output from an amp and sent that to the sub, but you will need to manually set the crossover in line with your speakers response. Some subwoofers, Rel are particularly well know for this, will allow you to connect the speaker level cables to them.

[@mareli82]

Hey. I have Denon AVC-X3700H. When I run test tone listening, there's coming almost no sound from a subwoofer. Subwoofer gain is about 12 o'clock. I know that subwoofer is working. If I want to raise subwoofer level in test tone, I have to raise it about +10 dB to match other speakers levels. ?

[@notlemcram]

Thanks! I learned a new way to figure out sub placement! Wish you included info on subwoofer settings "LFE + Main" or "Double Bass" for those using large main speakers that have receivers that offer it.

[@andrewrobinsonreviews]

OH CRAP, we actually had a brief mention about that recorded and, well, I guess editing late at night meant I somehow missed it! OMG! Yes, on some receivers if you use large as your speaker's setting you may have to look elsewhere in your receiver's menus for Main+Sub, LFE+Main or the like. Cannot believe I left that out!

I would rather prefer the way you explained in this video for setting up the speaker levels than that of the other channels using REW, MiniDSP, etc. For me it is a slow and gradual process of correcting and taking those baby steps towards the perfection we desire.

Great guide! I'll definitely send it to people who are new to setting up a home theater. Can you make a more advanced guide on how to go about calibrating the system when measurement tools (microphone/REW) are available? Maybe go into more detail on how to find the correct Crossover frequency for the room/speakers, correct phase, transfer the suggested EQ corrections to the AVR or to the player (if stereo). I've been trying to setup my HT setup alone for a long, long time now. Running around the room got tedious and I finally gave up and ordered the XTZ Room Analyzer 2 Pro. Have not gotten round to using it yet, but the things above are some points that I will personally be very interested in learning.

Hi Andrew. First of all, you are awesome. This is your 3rd or 4th video that I am watching and am learning a lot. I am confused between using height or ceiling speakers when setting up my 7.2 atmos setup. One constraint that I have is the depth of the ceiling speaker I can use. Your insights and recommendations would be of great help to me

[@AsadNazif]

You’d probably get better realism with ceiling. There’s quite the restriction with height. However, you will have more choices with height, and if you are willing to rig up better speakers and act like ceiling speakers, it can work too! You tend to have more commitment with ceiling speakers, as you need to drill your ceiling, and so forth. But an advice I would give, consider the looks, price, and choice of presentation. Hidden? Or shown with more good looking speakers. Will height on the wall compared to ceiling, does the “realism feeling” have a big drawback or feel disappointed when you listen to them? And consider matching them sonically with your main speakers. Sounds like a fun setup! All the best!

[@pablosarti1216]

Hi! Great video. I was wondering... I have 2 individual couches so neither of both are in the centre of the room. So from which point should I measure the distance of the speakers? Thanks!

I like the style, how down on earth and speaking the way amateurs can understand, I'm a basshead so maybe hear from you about loudest subwoofers. Now I have over 30 year old 8 inch and SVS Sb4000 Those 2 work together really well actually..

[@Powerpickle68]

Andrew, thank you for doing this video, it was a bit eye opening or ear in this case. I've watched other videos about sub placement etc but yours was more helpful. I thought that my YU6 and Sub8 was sounding really good until I placed my head directly between the YU and Sub, it sounded off/out of phase so I switched it to 180 on the sub and voila, much better. I had to readjust the crossover and volume a pinch because the phase is now correct. Now it is sounding really good ! Thank you.

[@jamespoladian3411]

I actually have my 2 12 inch klipsh subs behind me and when I watch movies I reverse the phase with music I use the same phase. When I watch the movies and reverse phase the bass is heard and felt much better it doesn't over power. This can easily be done thru my yamaha settings on screen. Very simple. Some people should try it i personally love feeling the bass from my movies then just hearing it. I hope some people really do try it. It is amazing.

Great video and well explained. But say for example you don't use an AV receiver and you're using something like klipsch the fives and you're just connecting directly to that? How would you go about adjusting crossover?

[@andrewrobinsonreviews]

The fives engage a crossover at 80hz when a sub is plugged in. Set the crossover on your sub to max or above 100Hz and you should be fine. Then dial in the volume until there is a good blend between the speakers and sub.

[@tfk40]

I've had my crossover set at 80hz for years as this is the THX reference, but I'm going to try 60hz as my towers are capable of that. I'll see how it sounds. Thanks for the suggestion.

I would argue the most important speaker is the center speaker. The second most important is the subwoofer. I have a Yamaha NS SW300 which is a really good subwoofer for my room. Also the best sounding area for my subwoofer is not where I can put it simply because of the layout of my room which I simply can not change. I put it in the second best area then rotated the subwoofer which made a huge difference.

[@andrewrobinsonreviews]

The center speaker is important, however, if you setup your subwoofer wrong the best speakers in the world will be rendered useless or seem poor in comparison to when a sub is properly dialed in.

[@Steve30x]

@@andrewrobinsonreviews I am aware of this. I have setup my own systems with over 20 years. I rotated my subwoofer at an angle of around 50 degrees to the left which compensated for the phase error and to compensate for it not being in the position it should be which helped a whole lot.
