subwoofer placement remains the same when changing subs?? (1 Viewer)

[brettecantwell]

I am not entirely sure on this so i figured i would ask. I plan to upgrade my sub which now is a 10" downfire to a larger 12" front firing. Am i just going to plop the sub in the same place i found my current sub sounds best or does each sub have its own sweet spot.. or it just the room itself??

The sweet spot is usually the room. The orientation of the sub will cause a slight difference in response also. I would use the same spot and measure the in-room response again (or for the first time if you have never done it).
