Phone apps are poor substitutes for an SPL meter.
That said, doing the Sub Crawl can be an effective technique for finding good acoustic placements, though crude.
An important distinction is that an SPL meter might pop off like crazy with a corner placement, whether it sounds good or not. That SPL meter will be a poor substitute for telling you if the SQ is strong. :)

Then again there are decent spl meter apps....but depends on your device's mic somewhat as to range....

For those that saw my new garage setup, what do you think about moving the sub on the right (they are different brand subs but virtually the same) to the rear right next to the recliner seat? I guess that would be a good option for those that like to feel the bass.

This isn't a car audio forum, a home slim style subwoofer for being under furniture would perhaps be more interesting here.
