Hi all
I'm in the middle of having a large open plan kitchen/diner created in the house we moved in to 2 months ago. The house was already extended so we've knocked down some internal walls to open up the back of the house.
This has left a single partition wall between the new open space and a separate 12 x 15 living room which houses my main HC set-up. I shall be hanging my 65VT50 on this wall (once wall's rebuilt, as the current one wasn't done very well) in the separate living room but here in lies my problem...
Where to place the sub (a Rel 305).
I have two options:
1) Where it is now, in the left corner of the room as you sit and face the tv. This would mean leaving the AV gear on a unit of some sort under the wall mounted tv.
2) Along the middle of the wall, under the TV, requiring me to place the AV gear in the left hand corner in a vertical rack (where the sub currently lives)
The wiring is all being hidden in the new wall, so I need to work the placement out before that is knocked down and rebuilt. I'm thinking I'll need to get someone to give me a hand pulling the entire tv bench forward asap so I can put the sub behind it to get an idea of the middle of the wall sound (although it'll then be firing in to the back of the tv bench).
I feel like the room would look 'cleaner' with the sub in the middle, especially as the door to the room is in the right corner as you look at the tv, so the free'd up floor space of no tv bench would be nice.
Enough ranting. Has anyone here had success with a sub placed in the middle of the front wall? I know it's all subjective and down to each room etc, but would be good to know if anyone else has done similar.
Thanks all
