So here are a couple pics of my set up. I have the fxi3's set up according to the label on the back of each speaker but was wondering if i should have the woofers facing each other or leave them how they are for the best sound. just looking for suggestions from anyone who has these speakers set up on a back wall like my set up. thanks for your help.

    I am running mine backwards with the woofers aiming at my ears.

    +1 on running them backwards.

    My setup is exactly the same as your with the rears being right behind the couch. My RTi8's are really bright so I didn't want to have any midrange wasted by pointing them away from me.
    I think Bananas are awesome fruit.

    The back speakers are way too close to your head.

    i know but its all i have to work with for placement. the house i live in is really open and i was affraid that i would lose all sound with a different placement b/c each room leads into another. just working with what i have guys and in my next house i will havea room designed for home theater. thanks for the input. i am running my fxi3 backwards as well b/c the sound is much better. great speakers.
