Knowing any two of room dimensions, subwoofer layout, and seating enables optimizing the third.

Evidence

A much more powerful optimization is possible in the case that room dimensions are known or can be chosen. In that case we can look up the different subwoofer and seating configurations and try to select the best ones for that room. Further, if any two of the three parameters of room dimensions, subwoofer configuration and seating configuration are known, it is possible to optimize the third. We can also make trade-offs between MSV, MOL and VSA (though we are prioritizing MSV here). — Toole, Floyd E, Sound reproduction- the acoustics and…, 1601
