Help me plan a layout for surround/gaming

Yeah pretty much detached. The main "block" is the other side. My one is on the other side of where cars drive through.

Here is what I think would be a worst-case scenario, depending on many subs I get...

Tbh they're probably angry as somebody has coloured their wall with a blue squiggle :cry:

. Not sure if a sub would transmitted noise upwards. Try it and see if they complain

Haha, yeah, I think it probably would. I will have to wait until I actually move in and check the place out some more and make a decision then.

I may just end up using my Zenzor 1s for rear surround and get some better bookshelf or floorstanders then along with a centre and just go 5.0 haha

There's nothing stopping you from getting a smaller sub and/or not running it as hard. I'd have thought most speakers will be poor at base, unless you spend car money on them (before anyone is triggered, I mean as in able to go to say 20/30hz).

Yeah, I was thinking just a compact unit, surely some bass is better than no bass. Obviously, it would be better when driven harder.

What sort of size would advise or any rough suggestions would be awesome!
