[QUOTE="wenn_du_weinst, post: 7585544, member: 576676"] Phasing facts Once you've placed your subwoofer, there are some things you can do with it to further heighten the bass in your music. A lot of subs come with a couple of basic controls: phase and crossover. The phase control will help the sound waves from your sub get synced up with those coming from your main speakers. If they arrive out of phase, there's the tiniest delay between Mick Jagger's voice and Bill Wyman's bass, for instance. An easy, accurate way of setting the phase control is to reverse the connections on your main speakers (the black wire goes to the red terminal and the red wire to the black terminal). Now play a simple selection, like a jazz instrumental with a good walking bass line, on your system while you're sitting in your listening position. Have a friend dial the phase control on the sub until you hear the least amount of bass. Leave the setting there. Returning your speaker wires to their proper places will now allow you to hear the most bass from your sub. (If your sub doesn't have a phase control, you're going to want to position it as close as possible to one of your main speakers in order to ensure that the sound waves are synced up.)
