    Subwoofer Placement

    Hi,

    I just have a quick question. I am rennovating my home theater center... Tearing out walls and building new ones. There is a crawl space directly behind the wall where my TV will be placed. The space is roughly 15' x 15' x 3.5', with the Home Theater room roughly the same size with 8' ceilings instead. I have a JBL PSW1200 and would like to place it behind the wall since the subwoofer is so large.

    My question is, simply: Will I get sufficient bass response with the subwoofer in the crawl space? Will I need to provide for a speaker grate in the wall, so it can shoot sound into the room?

    Any other advice?

    Thank you very much in advance.

    Is there any reason that it cannot be in the theatre room itself?

      What is directly behind the TV? I guess that would be above the crawlspace? Wondering if you might have room for an IB sub...

        Sounds like you need to build an IB sub

            Subwoofer behind a seat?
            by impala454
            Ok, please don't kill me, I know this is probably a nono subject, and mods feel free to smite my post down if need be. But I am perplexed by this idea. I am ready to put a sub in my crew cab chevrolet pickup, and behind the rear seat seems to be a popular place to put them. I have never put a sub...

            sub in crawl space venting to HT?
            by mizedog
            Hey all,
            I'm your consummate newby in DIY (never done it, but planning my attack). Due to the small size of my HT (and my huge couches), I'm really looking to get all the speakers behind an AT screen. This would gain back floor space that is now being taken up by my Klipsh 12" sub, and my...

            Got the OK for a crawl space sub!!!
            by owdi
            I am excited. My sealed Dayton 12" Reference sub just doesn't cut it for my room, and my wife is onboard with changing things out to a subwoofer hidden in the crawlspace.

            My living room is 18' wide, 9' tall, and is open to the kitchen and dining area, making it 28' deep. That's 4500...

            Another Subwoofer help thread...
            by james5
            I recently came across a barely used EP1500 for $100 so I did what anyone would do and bought it. I would like to use it to power a 12" or 15" sub. This will be for 90% HT and 10% music. Right now I have an HSU STF-2 so I'm looking for something that will outperform that.
