Hi Wayne,

A friend has a room with some nasty bass issues. We've put a few subs towards the rear of the room to compliment the existing sub that's not too far from the speakers. It has helped quite a bit.

Yet the bass is still pretty uneven from seat to seat. I understand that the best solution would be to add flanking subs in the front to add more subs (and to reduce boundary issues) but that's probably not going to happen right away.

So, with 3 subs available to us is there a better way to pick optimum locations other than just trial and error? We don't have measurement gear to help us. Does using a room mode calculator give any clues as to where a sub might do it's best work? Should we put a sub in or outside of a mode?

Barry
