Subwoofer placement

Silver Member Username: MccambleyBREEZY POINT, NY USA Post Number: 283 Registered: Jun-05 | A comunity center near me wants to add a Home Theater rig to a large room 70L x 50W X 30H. My question is about placement of the 2 subs. I was thinking of putting them half way down the walls (35') and 7' feet high across from each other. Putting them in the front or back is a problem. The sub are Velodyne SC-15 http://www.velodyne.com/velodyne/products/product.aspx?ID=23&sid=693w520l The rest of the equipment is Sony VW-100 projestor with a 130" wide Stewart screen, Pioneer Elite receiver VSX-84TXSi and Paradigm speakers Studio 40's CC570 and Definitive Technology rears BPX's |

The JBL 4645-C will require it's own amplifier and active X over and like I said if you really look around, given the cost now might slightly go over the estimated budget, the JBL will leave the others crawling in the dust!  |

But because of the set up the front won't work, its a multi use building that is used to put on a summer teen show. The screen is going to be retractable above the front of the stage with the L C R speakers hanging from cable around it. Under the stage is iffy for safety reasons for the speakers not the teens. |
