Re: Question about tricky single subwoofer placement

It's hard to say what you would need, these things are too unpredictable. I have a Genesis sub with variable phase, but I find it much easier to place the sub in-line with the my monitors (woofer voice coil to bass/mid voice coil) and leave the phase setting @ 0. Is it possible for you to place the sub against a SIDE wall, in-line w/your monitors, or even a little in front (describe an arc, all speakers equi-distant from your listening position)? That is VERY effective, as long as you don't crossover the sub too high. You don't say whether you're high-passing your monitors or not, that could also be a factor.

Hsu like to place their subs right next to the listening chair.

If front wall placement is your only option I would opt for the variable phase, other factors being equal, but they're not as common. Good luck!
