Typically you position a subwoofer along the front wall of the room. There is no formula for locating the best spot. The subwoofer can handle all the low frequency bass sounds in a home theater.

In fact high quality subs tend to sound their best when pulled at least 8 to 12 inches from any wall. The great thing about a subwoofer especially a wireless subwoofer is they can be situated almost anywhere on your floor space. Subwoofers with larger drivers and more powerful amps don t need to lean on your wall for help. Say you re entertaining in your living room and want to play music for your guests.

The height of the left and right channel speakers may vary depending on what activities take place in your room. And it s truly your personal preference. If your room is a rectangle the speakers will ideally face the length of the room so place your desk by the shortest wall.
