Is Bass Non-Directional In A Two-Channel Rig?

It should be non-directional but the timing issues remain, anyway, especially with wireless connections that introduce 10-20msec or more of delay. This can work but putting the sub up front with a wired connection makes it a lot easier.

"
In the old days of analog only, the answer was yes. Drive by a bar/dance club at night and you will only hear/feel the bass....sometimes the voices...but try to hear a cymbal..."
Irrelevant. That has to do with sound absorption issues.

Kal

"Try putting the sub in a corner..."

Only if you want to excite all the primary modes of the room.

Kal

"Again the box/enclosure is a giant passive upward frequency generator."

Only if the design/construction is incompetent.

Theaudiotweak:

A room an enclosure and free air are all passive radiators so they all must be incompetent.

C'mon. The dimensions are quite different and, therefore, so are the frequencies. Besides, those are a constant so that adding a sub will make no difference in their effect.

There is a lot known about the science of acoustics but it always amazes me how few audiophiles make the effort to learn about any and prefer to rely on hear-say.

Off the rails again.

Rather than stuck in a box I will accept "off the rails" as a compliment. Thanks Tom

I applaud the consistency of your misapprehensions.
