Subwoofer professionally positioned for optimal bass response in your specific room. No boom, no rattle, no annoyed neighbours - just clean, powerful bass that enhances rather than overwhelms.
### When Your Bass Doesn't Sound Right
You've spent £300+ on a subwoofer. It either **sounds boomy and awful** or you can barely hear it. Either way, it's not giving you that cinema-quality bass you were hoping for.
Position matters more than the subwoofer itself. Same unit, different spot, completely different sound.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** The "subwoofer crawl" - put the sub where you sit, play bass-heavy music, crawl around the room listening. Where it sounds best to your ears is where the sub should go. Weird but it works.

Good to Know
> 🏠 **Exeter's older houses?** High ceilings and solid construction actually help with bass - less boominess than modern plasterboard boxes. But positioning still critical. **Multiple subwoofers?** Two subs usually give more even bass throughout room than one bigger sub. Placement gets more complex but results are better. I can position both optimally. **Hardwood floors?** Bass can rattle floorboards. Isolation pads help. Also helps with downstairs neighbours if you're in a flat. **Wireless subwoofer?** Still needs power cable obviously, but no signal cable to amp makes positioning more flexible. I can help find the optimal spot without worrying about cable routing.
Frequently Asked Questions about Subwoofer positioning in Dawlish
Does it matter where I put my subwoofer?
Massively. Same subwoofer in different positions can sound incredible or terrible. Corner placement boosts bass but can make it boomy. Middle of wall often works well. Behind sofa sometimes perfect. It's room-dependent - I'll test positions and find what sounds best in your space.
Why does my subwoofer make everything rattle but not sound good?
Usually too loud or in a position that's exciting resonances. Subwoofer volume should complement music/movies, not dominate. I'll find the sweet spot where you get proper bass extension without the annoying rumble. Also might be your room's resonant frequency - fixable.
Can you make it so my neighbours don't complain?
I can minimize it but physics is physics - bass travels through walls and floors. Positioning away from shared walls helps. Proper calibration means you don't need it as loud. Isolation pads reduce vibration transfer. But if you're in a flat with thin walls and you want cinema-level bass at midnight, no miracle cure exists.
Should my subwoofer be on the floor or raised up?
Floor is usually best - bass is omnidirectional so height doesn't matter much, and floor coupling helps. Definitely not on a shelf unless you want everything on that shelf to vibrate off. Isolation pads under it can help if you're in a flat.
The bass sounds boomy in one spot but weak in others - what's wrong?
Room modes - your room's dimensions create peaks and nulls at different frequencies. Moving your listening position or subwoofer changes these patterns. I'll find positions where your listening spot gets good bass without the boom. Sometimes takes multiple test positions.
