yea I have a relatively small room, so I tried the positioning test and put the sub in the middle of the room while walking around. Just keep the house music pumping and find the perfect spot!
All of you folks (except maybe Glen) are completely full of half-assed "theories" and fantasy-land stories.
What you should do is a search on the Web for anything written by Tom Nousaine - he is certainly a knowledgable and credible authority on bass reproduction. That guy built a subwoofer system into his house that could almost literally knock the building off its foundation.
But someone did sort of almost make a good point - if you use your subwoofer to enhance your GAMING experience, sound reproduction accuracy is about the last thing you probably care about - simulated mass destruction is the point.
For MUSIC, well that's another story. Here's a technique that is proven to work - experiment! Try putting your subwoofer in as many different locations as you can. See what works best in your situation. Sometimes a corner snug against the walls is the hot ticket. Sometimes a foot away from the center of the wall works better. Every room is different, and it's easy to try different locations. There is no hard and fast rule, but placing a sub in a corner tends to accentuate the bass and moving a sub away from wall/floor junctions tends to reduce the bass.

Toolman, you dont know my cat.
He doesnt wake up unless he wants to, or unless you scratch his stomach, in which case he will wake up very quickly and bite you
My parrents OTOH

Okay put some legs on your sub and use it for your chair and sit in the corner. Place additional subs in the other available corners. Crank it up till your chest hairs rattle.
