[QUOTE="Jay Barracato, post: 92373, member: 24"] Re: Cardioid Subs in a Smaller venue. You are missing the OR and the fact that the physical box the driver is in is the barrier I am talking about. 2 drivers 2.75 feet apart cannot make two waves at low frequencies unless there is something separating the air those drivers act upon, like the sub itself. They must make a single wave. There is no way to arrange 2 drivers 2.75 feet apart in a cardiod array without the boxes those drivers are in creating a barrier, so I don't understand what you mean by "make this work" or how you could hear it. Regardless of what you interpret your ears as telling you, two drivers acting on the same air mass, close enough to couple, but out of polarity are not an example of wave cancellation. Once again, I would go back to the practical proof, if explanation of the theory is not enough for you.
