Answer 1

It sounds like your looking for better quality rather than greater boomy unlevel volume. If this is the case do not put the sub in the corner of the room! This is the best place to put a subwoofer if you want it to seem louder, but it is the very worst place if you're looking for balanced low frequency reproduction. Also setting your low pass filter to 40 hz may not be a good idea particularly if you are trying to blend your subwoofer with small bookshelf or satellite speakers that cannot produce lower frequency sounds. Most, even larger, bookshelf, and some tower, speakers do not extend thier base responce below 50-75 hz. So if you set your low pass filter on your sub at 40 hz or lower you will effectively be cutting a slice out of your sound that none of your speakers will produce. Everything else that Xenonaudio said was good advice; experementing is the only way that you will be able to get the response that you prefer. One warning: If there is a subsonic filter built into the sub it may not be a good idea to turn it off. While turning it off might (and I do mean might) extend your low bass respose, the manufacturer would only use such a filter if they felt that the speaker/box configuration would not safely or accurately enough reproduce frequencies below the cutoff point of the filter. Remember that the human ear, in perfect condition, can only really discren frequencies down to about 20 hz. And that's the perfect ear! Most of us would be lucky to be able to make out 30 hz. If you want some great info on the setup and positioning of a subwoofer for the best possible seamless performance with your system check out the links listed as my sources. Good luck with your system!

The MTX SW2 powered subwoofer is a pretty de-
cent sub for the money. In order to get the best low
bass from this sub, you need to do the following...

- Adjust the variable crossover to the lowest setting (i.e. ~40 Hz)

- Turn off the 30 Hz subsonic filter

- Adjust the sub's volume to the desired level

- Experiment with the phase control (i.e. 0º setting or 180º setting)

- Position the sub in a corner in the room behind the front speakers

If you have done all of this, then -voila! you have
reached the sub's highest potential and should
sound pretty good in a small to mid-sized room.
