Historic Home Renovation Series: The “Sub-Wolfer”—A Surprise Subwoofer Location
An Origin Acoustics subwoofer installed below a Wolf Range helps to fill this great room with fantastic bass response.
The homeowners of this 4,000-square-foot historic home recently remodeled, adding a 12,000 addition that includes a living room, a dining room, and a kitchen with two islands. The addition, designed to be a space for entertaining, has audio throughout so that everyone can listen to music, with invisible speakers in the ceiling doing the honors. However, when it came time to pump up the bass, locating a subwoofer in the room was tricky. In the big, open space of a great room, freestanding audio components like subwoofers can be less than desirable from an aesthetic point of view.
