I'm about to bring back to the shop my first sub, a jamo 410e, nom.power 100w, 10 inch, because, or im unable to fix the system correctly or its useless for my system. I have two full range sony speakers dated 1981 as front, rear infinity and b&w center channel.My receiver is onkyo 575 80 wpc.All this is regarding the use of the system for home theater, with dvd. Is it possible that since my front speakers are full range with a really big sub that in the specs goes down to 35hz?? the difference with the sub is minimal, or the system still benefits from it besides from preventing breakage during very low bass emissions of the sony speakers ? In addition to this i would also like to know if theres a difference between a sub, the jamo im trying now, whose sub is mounted "on the floor" and any other model which has the sub mounted on front. Im asking this because the room is not so good acustically speaking (very reflectant)and i get annoying vibrations with the sub. Could it be possible that getting a model with the sub mounted on front i could avoid or at least partially defeat that horrible fenomenon of standing waves ?
thankyou
