[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 121723, member: 126"] Re: Inadequate Sub Power For a Venue... Tips/Tricks/Help What he said, and.... Does the room/venue have any corners. Placing the subs together and at room boundaries will add acoustic gain. Placing the subs at a wall floor boundary buys you some, placing in an actual corner even more. Human hearing is not flat down at low frequency so the amps and speakers are working very hard to be heard. Human hearing is better the closer to midrange we get, so rolling off the very low end, even if the speakers can go down that low, will reduce how much heat they are dissipating so you can hit them harder up a little higher. Since not a lot of music is actually going on down there... you will lose some impact but perhaps less than you might think. I am not a fan of added distortion (muckbass), but in extreme cases it might add to the perception of more bass (or sound like a distorted low end). JR [/QUOTE]
