My dedicated Home Theater is 12.5 wide and 25' long with 6.7 ceilings. I am looking to buy a new subwoofer to go along with my existing JL Audio Fathom.
At this time the Fathom is located in the rear of the room. This position was not a favorite in JL's manual. Also where it is located there are movie style seating in front of the sub. I get the best sound overall in this section of the room.
It is a fantastic piece of equipment.

I would like to even out the bass response by adding the LFM 1 Compact sub locating it in the front of the room.
I do not have a hell of a lot of space. The front of the room at it's smallest point is 8' slowly widening to 12.5 at the back of the theater.
I am a bass freak.
Will the compact do the job?
