A subwoofer placed in the corner of a room may increase the subwoofer's output – causing the sub to sound louder. Try placing your subwoofer in a corner and see how it sounds. However, depending on your floor space, a corner might not be a viable option for your subwoofer if it's too far from your listening area.

Where is the best place to put a subwoofer?
Try to keep the sub within 4 or 5 feet of the left or right front speakers. Which leads to my next bit of advice, don't put the subwoofer in a corner. Granted, there are significant advantages to corner placement, mainly that in a corner the sub will produce more bass, with lower distortion.
Can you place subwoofer behind you?
You can place a subwoofer behind you or in the back of the room but this is likely not going to be the most optimal location. Ideally, the subwoofer should be placed at the front of the room pulled at least 6-inches away from the wall for the best low-frequency audio signal performance.
What height do you place a subwoofer?
Subwoofers with larger drivers and more powerful amps don't need to lean on your wall for help. In fact, high-quality subs tend to sound their best when pulled at least 8 to 12 inches from any wall.
