I think you should put it in my living room. I need it.

Under the main couch, it makes for a great movie!

Most modern systems have a non-directional bass box which means that you dont have to be concerned with the sound quality in relation to location. Keep in mind though that it will vibrate the floor more if it is in contact with it. So, neighbors need to be considered. Other than that the issue is a cosmetic one...or a matter of Feng Shui if you are so inclined. :) Peace. edit: btw keep it 6 ft away from your hd.

RE: PS2 SOUND ISSUE: Found this (here: http://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http://fp.scea.com/Content/usingyourps2/GetStarted/img/PS2_SupportImages/PS2_12_RearCallouts.gif&imgrefurl=http://www.us.playstation.com/PS2/Using/GetStarted&h=72&w=126&sz=7&tbnid=EqfTJivDeGYJ:&tbnh=72&tbnw=126&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dps2%2Brear%2Bpic&sa=X&oi=image_result&resnum=1&ct=image&cd=1) Connect an audio device (optional) The PlayStation®2 comes equipped with stereo sound. Connecting the system to a television with either SCART or normal composite/component inputs will produce stereo sound output. However, the system also supports Dolby Digital and DTS (Digital Theatre Systems) audio. To make use of these capabilities, connect the system to audio equipment with a built-in DTS or Dolby Digital decorder. To connect digital audio equipment to your PlayStation®2: 1. Use a commercially available optical digital cable to enjoy surround sound. 2. Refer to the instructions supplied with the digital audio device you are connecting. 3. Set the PlayStation®2 system’s Digital Out (Optical) setting to On: 1. Turn on the PlayStation®2 to display the main menu. 2. Select System Configuration and press X. 3. Select Digital Out (Optional) and press X. 4. Select On and press X.

Oh, well it wont work then. The OUT jacks are trying to send data to speakers, amps etc. Trying to plug an aux device into them confuses the system. Youll have to go with your TV speakers then. Any stereo with In ports will work for you. Cheers.

On the ground and right next to or below the TV, if it's a front projector right behind the screen, placement is very important. You want this box away from you but inline with your video display. Placing it right in a corner might be the sweet spot in your room not to close, at least 1' and maybe up to 3' off the corner on both walls, that is if the room is large enough or if your wife is a good sport. All speaker locations are critical. It has to do with where the sound should be coming from. Ex. if its a band your listening to then it should be front firing speakers to emulate the stage of a concert. If its a movie then the center speaker will be voices this should go center above video display left and right speakers go on both sides of display, rear left and right go behind your sitting area so as to give that 3 dimensional sound so you feel your right in the middle of the movie. And if there set up right, when the train goes by in the movie you'll think your going to get run over. This is the real basic formula, but thats pretty much how and why your speakers go where they go.

On the ground and right next to or below the video source. Place the speaker away from you but inline with your video display. You see when you and your sweetie are laying on the rug in front of the sub-woofer and you are taking her for the ride of her life you want the sub-woofer whomping away for that extra tactile effect. You-betcha you do

Seriously then; A subwoofer is a powered component. It plugs into the electric outlet to power the amplifier. - It also has VERY LOW band pass filters. Usually below 30 Hz. Since the output is NOT directional often both the left and right signals are sent to the amplifier. - The speaker cone is pointed down so that the resulting air pressure waves roll across the floor in all directions. - Most people feel the pressure waves all over their skin rather than in their ear drum, thus the term "sub-sonic" (zero to 40 Hzs). - If you place a lighted candle on the floor, you can see the flame move with the whump-whump of the subwoofer. - As an aside; the reason elephants ears are so large is that they use subsonics to communicate over miles of the African savanna. - Regards, Ed
