It's really not that simple. Since the wavelength of the soundwaves is so long, the physics of low frequency sound in typical home theater rooms is quite mind-boggling. The sweet spot may or may not be directly in front of the sub (if there even i...
in theater's there are 4 sub-woofers but in a home theatre there is only one so there is a sweet spot exactly opposite to the place where the woofer is placed. so one should use at least 4 sub-woofers so the bass remains same in each corner.
it's a full 5.1 home theater. which is build by me. i have a monster, sony's 12"-1262p5 all amplifiers designed by myself. which can deleiver real low frequences below 30Hz.
Tell us about your Listening Room
it's not very big but with good acoustics which can handle the power of sub woofer. i am planning to change it but not now.
Tell us about your equipment
all amp designed by myself-
5 channell amp's- 45w per channel-
5 fuul bandwidth speakers (philips-6" x 9" & 50w tweeter's each.
sub woofer amp- 250 Watt RMS.
SUB WOOFER:- SONY'S -1262p5 12" ferrite magnite 1300 watt peak power, 380 watt RMS, WITH A CYLENDER TYPE ENCLOSURE

i have completed my diploma in electronics & communications. i am working in C-MET PUNE , Central govt. of INDIA.

Do you prefer MP3 or high definition audio?
i prefer vbr 320Kbps MP3 & DD , DTS tracks i have a collection of more than 160 dvd's DD & DTS sound tracks

Vikrant,
I don't know where you got your definition of sweet spot... "sweet spot means exactly the spot where u can hear low frequences 925 to 45)." but I've never, in all my reading of audio physics and home theater, seen such a definition. I think you may be confusing speaker specifications with in-room performance.
The bass sweet spot is also dependant on where you've crossed over your main speakers. A high crossover will localize bass between 80Hz and the crossover point making sub placement even more of a pain!
Vikrant,
The "sweet spot" for bass with one subwoofer is not directly in line with the sub. It might be, but it might not be. It depends on the shape of the room and the placement of the sub in that room.
the Epson 6500ub is a fabulous projector. especially considering its price. When paired with a hi-gain screen like the da-lite hi-power, it truly is like watching a 110" plasma screen.. provided you have a nice light controlled room. are you looking to get a projector?
Thanks for the comment Vikrant. Yeah, that sub really shakes my entire place. I'm still in the process of moving it around for the best possible position as far as sound goes. I wanted to know, what soundtracks do you recommend for "listening multi channel sound tracks which sould include sound of jet & missels"?
Thanks.
