Safe Subwoofer Placement?
- Thread starter Sonique
- Start date
im sure the massive magnet(s) inside the sub might cause problems with some monitors, so i might be best not to sit your monitor directly ontop of the sub, plus having the sub right next to you is bad placement iirc, you want the sub as far away in the room as possible, since the soundwaves it produces are so large

Bullshit. You have no idea what you are talking about... <grumble> Large sound waves, indeed... He doesn't have a good enough subwoofer to cause sonic damage to his monitor.
Magnetic fields that are strong enough to damage your CRT monitor involve either really strong magnets or really short distances. The magnet inside speakers are only strong enough to affect CRTs at distances measured on the order of inches, not feet.
In short, don't sweat it.

Good input, however i dont think he meant the sonic waves but was rather implying that you can hear the larger waves better at extended differences. of course with his speakers its not a biggie.

lol @ you guys.
Keep it at least a foot away. One time I had my monitor on the floor right next to the sub, and it was all fucked up. At first I thought I broke my monitor, but then I looked, and saw the sub, lol....

Actually, no. That is the proper use of the word affect. Let's consult the sage oracle, Google.
Entering the word affect, the first hit uses the word in this context:
The first hit for the word effect gives us:
Now see what you made me do? You made me bring up a crappy Ashton Kutchner movie. Now go away, or I will taunt you a second time.
P.S. As long as the magnetic field remains static since the last degaussing, there should be no visible effects. Keep typical magenets over one foot away and the effect will be negligible to begin with.

in case you need another reason not to put your sub next to your monitor, go get a pretzel, one of those hard thick dark specials (no jokes, please) and eat it and try to read this. Now imagine that all the time. Unreadable is the word you're looking for.

The most ideal place to put a smaller sub is in a corner of your room about 3-5 inches from the wall. This will add up to a 3dB increase to your sub, meaning it only needs 50% of its power to produce a sound that would otherwise take 100% to create.
Because my speakers are totally messed now...
I cant adjust the volume properly on the control pod...
the volume also adjusts it self automatically at random but frequent moments.
so right next to the PC is fine?
I was wondering if it was because of tome sort of damage caused by bad placement or something.

It should be fine, as long you don't cram the subwoofer inside the case, or right next to the CRT gun in the back. Most sub's are somewhat shielded, so the effect isn't that bad.
And yes, 'large sound waves' can damage a monitor. When fooling with my sub, I was playing some 16hz tones at about 115dB, and now my main monitor has a permanent little 'grid' on it, where I think I rattled something loose in the aperture grill. It's not noticeable unless everything it totally white, so it's not a huge deal =]

Look at the original poster's sig
The only way that those speakers will do 16 htz at 116 DB is with a good shot out of a railgun.
Got one of those on that USS Von Braun of yours?
Your SVS will do that easily, I've no doubt at all.

I wasn't trying to imply that his sub could do it, but just that it is possible =] If you have any plans on your comp to assemble a railgun, that would be an entertaining proposition, I've got lots of free time I've seen a linear accelerater that some kid made for a science fair project, so I figure that it can't be too hard. Just get a lot of lowgauge wire, make a lotta air-coil or iron-core magnets, get a ton of high-capacity capacitors, and figure out a way to time/stagger the fields so that as the projectile travels past each coil, that coil is receiving the highest amount of current possible. I know next to nothing about electronics, so I'd probably blow out all the circuits in my house and fry the windings on the first shot =]
