I have a BIG problem.
Finally finished my home theater, and everything is great except one problem:
Bass sounds great everywhere in the room except where I want to sit!!!! It seems as though the bass sounds great when I am standing up in front of my chair, but is terrible when I sit down. As my ears get closer to the floor, the bass begins to sound worse. It is like it disappears and becomes a dead thump.
I quick run down on the setup:
a pair of tumults in the 2 front corners of the room. They are sort of built into the wall. There are openings in the wall slightly larger than the enclosures that the subs slide into. This was a WAF setup, so it cannot be changed. I have a BFD, but not tried to EQ yet. I have it set with a little boost around 20-25Hz right now.
The room is 16 ft wide, and 20 ft long. I sit back about 16-17ft from the front of the room.
The room has hardwood floors with no rugs yet. . .not sure if that has anything to do with it.
I have also checked all wiring, and have tried playing one sub at a time. . . no improvements.
Any help or advice appreciated.
