Stacking subwoofers


Dear,

I have a REL Carbon Special. Due to my room, it’s behind me in a corner with my speakers in front of me. I have the opportunity to buy two extra REL Carbon Special. I’ve been looking into line array… but I can’t place a stereo pair (the so called sixpack). Is it even worth the hassle to for from 1 to a stack of 3? Or should I focus on a REL 31/32 instead?

thx

Sub stacking is a bit of a goofy phenomenon observed in some videos these days. Don’t get inspired by such videos and waste too much cash in that manner.

Depending on your room, setting up a single sub near-field (you may even be able to set your whisky glass on it) and some positional eq could nullify the need for additional subs (at times), i.e., when you are optimizing for a solitary listening spot.

You could also get discrete in-wall/ in-ceiling subs at the right locations. But, modifications to some simple dry wall and in-wall wiring can be extremely scary (terrifying) for some audiophiles.
