Hi,

I've got 2 SVS PB12+s and am struggling to locate them. My original plan was to use two PB10s and locate them both in the front corners however in my wisdom I decided to get two PB12s and have been struggling to get a nice sound ever since Because of their size I've had to site them at the back two corners but the sound is just too intrusive and it's so easy to locate them that I had to set my fronts to large to help the sound.
I'm going to have to site them at the front corners but this will mean that I won't be able to have corner bass traps there which I was going to use to tame my room.
I realise that it's a lot of trial and error but my fiance thinks I'm a complete maniac playing around with it all the time and never actually getting time to enjoy the music
Anyway I do like a nice tight bass so is it best to site them close to the tri corner? Should I place some rockwool against the wall here or use the wall to strengthen the bass? Anyone had any experience with this configuation?

Cheers.
A few questions:
  1. Have you calibrated them with a SPL meter?
  2. Do you eq them with something like a BFD?
  3. How big is your room?
  4. Have you tried e-mailing Tom V at SVS? He's always been willing to help out in the past.

And yes, I think almost everyone here can sympathize with your 'struggles' with the 'other half'. My wife has NO IDEA why I care so much about this stuff.
