Subwoofer placement

Hello i bought a new subwoofer its on the way.
Crawling never worked for me. Is it any other alternative?

I thought you had already bought it! Well either way, congratulations! You did get the 12.17, yes?

Crawling is about the most reliable way I have found to find a good spot for a subwoofer. There really isn't a whole lot else you can do aside from just moving the sub, then listen at your seat, then move the sub again, go back to your seat... essentially it's the same idea as crawling around the room with your sub in your seat.

Yes, let your wife/sig other pick the spot and just be happy

Yes buy a Umik-1 and download some free software, REW, those two are great tools.

No one ever does until they learn.....sure, there's a learning curve and expense so hard to say if you'd think that a good alternative to something simpler like the crawl. It would have other potential use in measuring your room response for speakers, too....if that's of interest for the expense/time investment needed. You could start here perhaps https://www.minidsp.com/applications/acoustic-measurements/umik-1-setup-with-rew

I was a total Noob as well. It isn't that difficult to learn IMO

I am thinking the possibility to order a new TV furniture and has the subwoofer included OR excluded.

I would not recommend putting your subwoofer inside another enclosure like that. It can lead to all manner of sound aberrations, including but not limited to amplifying specific frequencies. You could certainly hide it under something open, like an end table if you desire.

I don't know what it's like to want great sound, but hate audio gear...

Thankfully, lol.

End table is not open. Its something closed

Not if the subwoofer IS your end table...

Hide it under this, it's cheap

Nice idea but...its 50cm tall. İt doesnt fit

Nobody agreed with the 10.17. Not sure why you want to hide the 12.17. It will make issues if you enclose it in a cabinet. Then you'll come back and ask us why it sounds terrible and we'll tell you take it out.

Funny thing is i already have this ikea table in blue colour. its in my storage.

There is no place close to the tv. No place behind couch. There are places to put but a bit ugly for the room
