How does room correction treat multiple passive subwoofers?


Say you were running 4 passive subs connected to a single amplifier. The amp connected to the preouts of a preamp/ integrated amp that has room correction. How would the software calibrate the subs being they are placed around the room in different locations? Would it treat it as one sub? Would it even work for properly calibrating? Does different correction software from different manufacturers handle this duty differently?

Thanks!

Personally, I think the answer is "poorly." However, the Distributed Bass Array fanboys have other ideas.  Feel free to go research it.

Since I don't ascribe to that religion however I'd encourage you to use active subs with EQ.  For more information on the benefits and configurations needed please read this paper:
