It should beset between the left and right speakers. 3 Surround Left, Right(Rear Speakers) Their overall sound balance should be as close as possible to the front speakers. Proper placement is vital to establish an evenly distributed sound field. 4 Surround Center(surround center Speakers) The surround center speaker supplements the surround speakers and provides for more realistic front-to-back transitions. Place the speaker directly behind the listening position and at the same height as the surround speakers. 5 Subwoofer A subwoofer is designed to reproduce powerful low bass effects(explosions,the rumble of spaceships, etc.) which dramatically heightens involvement with the action on the screen.
