[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 137984, member: 30"] Re: dB calculations As I said-if you want even SPL across the seats-a center sub (unless flown high enough) is NOT going to do that. It is going to be much louder near the subs than further away. OF course some people don't care about even coverage (typical clubs), and they expect it to be louder closer to the stage. It depends on what the design goal is. Go to a really wide coverage situation and the center sub idea quickly falls apart. If you want to "get hungup" on the the interference of subs and ignore the overall SPL, then center subs is the way to go. But to me-it is more about trying to provide a "pretty close to the same" experience for everybody. In a install (non nightclub type), my "go to" design is a center FLOWN sub. BUT NOT on the ground. I try my best to avoid that-unless there is no other option. As usual-it depends. [/QUOTE]
