Re: Sub placement


It is totally reasonable and common to locate subs together along a wall, or in a corner. Every boundary adds 3 more dB to your output. Pointing subs at the wall a few feet away does the same thing - think of where the cones are in relation to the wall. If the subs were against the wall with the cones pointing away, the cone itself would be about 2 feet from the wall. With the subs pointing at the wall, if the cone is about 2 feet away, it's the same thing (opposite polarity though). You ideally want to be as close to the wall as possible to take advantage of the quarter or eighth space gains.


The part about bass "unfolding" is BS.
