What is the best place to put a subwoofer?

HSU FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Due to certain principles of acoustics, the corner of the room is almost always the ideal location to place a subwoofer. The next best location to place a subwoofer is along a wall. Home theater aficionados may like to place the subwoofer to the side or behind the seating, near the listener, as this will provide better upper-bass impact. For the best experience, avoid placing the subwoofer or your seating in the middle of the room, because there is a bass void there.

Which subwoofer will sound the loudest?

Subwoofers Frequently Asked Questions
If you're looking for the sub that will deliver maximum SPL (play loudest), you need to consider sensitivity, enclosure type, and available power. Start with a subwoofer with a high efficiency (sensitivity) rating housed in a ported or bandpass box. Next, power the sub with an amplifier that has a power output that is within your sub's recommended power range (preferably in the top third of that range). You'll achieve the slam you're listening for.

Which subwoofer will sound the deepest?

Subwoofers Frequently Asked Questions
To experience the lowest possible bass tones, select a large woofer designed for use in a sealed box. This type of enclosure is your best bet for driving your frequency response down. Ample wattage is also a must if you want to hear those lowest bass notes. A woofer with a very low frequency response spec can help deliver extremely low notes. Additionally, larger woofers, because of their size and excursion capabilities, often have the ability to play deeper than smaller woofers.

Where is the best place to see wolves?

menu
Nowhere! Really, it would be a rare thing to see a wolf. They know you're coming long before you would see them and, either leave or blend into the scenery. I have never seen one but, imagine, I have walked right by one. Consider yourself lucky if you hear them. It is possible to see tracks and scat though. They seem to be on the western side of the island more than the east during the summer. Most likely due to the population being lower on that end.

Question: -- Where is the best place to observe with my new telescope ?

Telescopes FAQ - How to Setup & Use a Telescope
Answer: -- The best locations for astronomy will be rural areas far from large cities that pollute the night sky with outdoor lighting. This "light pollution" washes out many of the faint objects of interest to an astronomer, as does the light from the moon. A small telescope when used under a dark, moonless sky can match the performance of a larger telescope used under a light polluted sky or a moonlit sky. (Most astronomers do not hold the moon in high regard for this reason.)
