For a sonorous sound field, the use of two subwoofers is recommended, although you can obtain a good effect with one subwoofer. ( : subwoofer, : front speaker) When using one subwoofer Place the subwoofer on the outside of either the right or the left front speaker. When using two subwoofers Place the subwoofers on the outside of each front speaker. A B y If the subwoofer is placed directly facing the wall, the bass sound may lessen because the sound from the subwoofer and the sound reflected by the wall may cancel each other out.
