biggrin.gif Setting and subwoofer placement is a very subjective..need more experience to find sweet spot...I'm also not expertise to get ideal subwoofer placement.Need to crawl mehh icon_question.gif From what I know correct subwoofer setting is you will not know its location when LFE kicks bcoz of undirectional sound...Correct me plz.. Currently my system leads by PSB subsonic front firing (Old model laugh.gif ).I'm just setting my sub volume to 9 o'clock and crossover to max due to I let my AVR to filter LFE signal (THX recommended=80hz).So far it's ok for me but for guys that likes kobabowww they will feel my setting lack of punch cool.gif. I also can feel it's power whether in low volume.Both front firing and down firing have their pro's/con's.

For me too much KEBABOWW will make your movies/music feel muddy.Its very subjective.Most important things is how you control your subwoofer not subwoofer control you.Of course expensive subwoofer will give great LFE but without knowledge you will make it suck and you wasted your money.SIFU HTKAKI also still learn eventhough he's SIFU icon_rolleyes.gif

Yes, most of it employing front firing driver. Down-firing or front firing, if you get the correct setting for either one, it should be similiar in performance with non perceivable difference.

I am using the QED Reference Subwoofer cable as well as SVS sub cable. Not that expensive. Sub is sitting on Auralex Gramma to reduce vibration.
