Distributed Bass Array configuration


Please, I don't want to debate the merits of the DBA nor of those who espouse it. I am considering adding two more subwoofers to a system that has two already. To those who use a DBA,I am interested in how you have configured them, specifically--
  1. Do you run in mono, or do you split the array to run in stereo?
  2. What is your approach to setting phase (delay) among speakers that may be facing different directions and are different distances from the listener?
Thanks!

I have been enjoying my custom swarm( it’s on AK main page). Looks a lot better than the pic. Dual amps in a stereo config

I basically set it up in my 27x16x10 room just as recommended. So many adjustments and I am not versed in computer calibrations.  My mains are Persona 5f’s which are pretty flat to 43 hz per Paradigm. Last night I upped the crossover on the amps to what I think would be around 50. The amps have lines with no values so really not sure if it’s exact. Everything seem to snap into  place a little betterIf there is anybody in the NE metro Detroit area that would like to tweak these fro me I would gladly pay. Heck I will take ya for a boat ride and grill you a great steak and pour you some fine Tequila.
