Hey all,
I'm almost finished setting up my home theatre.
The room is 4.4m wide by 5.4m long.
In a nutshell... I have no bass at the seating position. Nothing. Registering very little from about 60Hz down to about 30Hz. See my rather crude diagram of my bass response below.
Before you ask. Yes, I have tried the sub woofer(s) in every location around the edges of the room, and also in a bunch of random non symmetrical positions (ie: one at the front left, one at the back middle). To no avail. I even placed the sub at the seating position and crawled around the room.... I found a couple of spots with average bass... placed the subs there, and still little to nothing at the seating position.
It's driving me mad, and I'm getting extremely frustrated.
Before I go and start building some super chunks. I need to know, will bass trapping actually help my situation? I don't really want to move my seats to the back of the room, as I'll lose my surround field. I just want that pressurised bass sound at the seating position. Is that too much to ask? The floor vibrates, but that's not important to me!! LOL.
If anyone has any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated... as at the moment this is turning what could be an amazing HT into one that sounds cold and empty
Many thanks in advance.
