    Excellent video, Josh! So much B roll, I can see the production value increasing with each release! :) Oh, and you're so close to 2K subs! So cool!

    I have a really dumb question. I bought some nice spikes for my sub. They came in an 8 pack. I want to use the 4 soar underlying Bose soundbar. Good idea. Terrible idea or doesn't matter? Thanks.

    Thank you very much Josh for the reviewing. Do you have a specific contact email in order to attach the picture for my living room and for looking for your recommendation? Also, unfortunately we are living at first floor and the people my neighbor who living the second floor always annoyed us with the high sound system speakers, may we know how to annoy them with our sound system speakers while we are living at first floor hahahaha? Thank you very much and always keep up with great job.

    Hey Gavs. I haven't tested any small subs with the Sonos AMP but if I was in your shoes I would go for something like this: geni.us/w1So6 It's a small sub, plenty of power, has great amazon reviews and at a good price. Hope this helps.

    if you have carpeted floors, do yourself a favor and get a board cut to place your subwoofer on to make it reflect the bass out. preferably cut a few inches bigger that the size of the sub. has worked for me for decades! luckily i have tiled floors now, although have a nice big rug in the middle of the living room for comfort, cut down on reflection's, echo etc. and with the board, you can just use raw lumber, board whatever, or stain it, make it look nice. also i suppose many things would work the same, poster board, etc.. whatever looks nice, and works ☮

    I was told that under no circumstance you should place your sub under the couch or in obscured places as it interferes with the distribution of soundwaves. What do you think about that?

    If u live in an apartment, box up the subwoofer and put it in out of the way, or loan it out to a friend/relative, or sell it. U aint' gonna get by using it in an average apartment.

    You'd do better with great placement and no room correction than room correction and terrible placement.
