Dorm room....

[mcrum78]

So, I went out and boutght a half-decent logitech 2.1 system for my dorm room (i'm saving up for when i have my own place to buy an acutally decent setup). What would you guys recommend for placement of the sub? I'm new to the audio world so please excuse any stupidness

1 - Put the sub on your listening position.
2 - Crawl all over the room until you find a position where the bass is louder. That will be you sub's position.

He's not pulling your leg, thats how its done Many housewives have come home to find their husbands crawling around on the floor with bass heavy music playing on the stereo looking for sweet spots.

Oops, I thought this was a thread for the "Girls Gone Wild" Dorm Room Fantasies DVD. Sorry.

So the location where i find that bass to be loudest should be where I put the physical sub? What about the other two desktop speakers?

I am assuming the Logitech 2.1 speakers are for a computer. The "subwoofer" is probably more like a bass module than a true subwoofer. I wouldn’t worry about crawling for bass. I would just try to keep it as close to your seating position as possible. I have an Altec Lansing 2.1 and I keep the bass module at the back corner of the desktop where it is out of the way, yet you can hear it clearly. Some people put the bass module on the floor under the desk, but I didn’t like the sound quality as well. Either way I would keep them close because they probably can’t really “fill a room” very well. Just my opinion.

Is your dorm room surrounded by cinder block or drywall?

I had quite a few dorm rooms in my college days. Most were one (or two in corner rooms) concrete exterior wall with a window, a concrete inner wall, and an opposing drywall one (shared with neighboring room).

Corner load to the intersection of the two concrete walls if possible. The way most dorms I've seen are built, you'll get ugly sound and feeling from that drywall section if you put it near there. Dorms are built for fireproofing and safety, not optimal acoustics.

Good luck! =)
