[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 117699, member: 30"] Re: Sub arrays for even front to back coverage The only way to get more even front to back coverage is to fly the subs. Inverse square law is fighting you and you will lose. The issue also has to do with wavelength. It depends on how much height you have to fly the speakers. Subs do not have to be as close together as higher freq devices in order to get directional coverage and for coupling. If we knew what sort of height you have- how many and what type subs your have that would help. Maybe some photos would help. Would you be open to flying the subs in some sort of configuration in the middle of the room? It doesn't matter what might work in a model-if the actual space does not allow it-so we need to know the limitations of the space or it is a waste of time. How low does the main PA without subs go-freq wise? That makes a difference on where the upper end of the sub range is and where you can crossover into them. The higher it is-the more localization you have to the subs. The problem is that whatever you do it will be a compromise and with a left/tight configuration of the PA there is only one place to get a "proper" alignment and everywhere else will be off.
