Re: Yet another sub array questionMike, you will lose SPL with any directive subwoofer setup versus a broadside array. You're going from a flat faced array of six subwoofers that all couple and increase directivity, to only 2/3 or less than number facing forwards and coupling. When we did testing on this very subject with three subwoofers outdoors on a tennis court we found approximately the same (although over different frequency ranges) 2-3dB forward energy loss with both "cardioid" and "end fire" arrays.
