How far from the wall should my PB2+ be? (1 Viewer)

[james e m]

The sub is not corner loaded and right now the ports are about 5" from the wall. What is the optimum distance?

Thanks,

James

James,

There really is no optimal distance. Each room will vary a good bit, and distance of the ports to the wall is probably a minor issue compared to where the sub is situated in the room (corner, along a wall, near the opening to another room, used as an end table, whatever).

In any case 5" is more than enough for the ports to flow, cable clearance etc. You could probably close the distance some without any problems too leave a min. of 3"-4" though.

Yeah, I've always heard about 4" too.

You know why women have such bad depth perception?

They are always being told that 4" is really 8"...

Michaellllll

the charts goes:

1=10
2=5
3=6
4=7
5=8
6=8
7=9
8=12
