Subwoofer between speakers?
After reading through a thread relating to the equipment rack between speakers, I assume that the sub between the speakers is also a no-no?
My speaker stands are 24.5" high, and my sub is 24" high, so I was thinking that the sub cabinet being below the mid-range driver might mitigate the detrimental effects to imaging. But I read a reply in the thread that I alluded to which talked about an amp between the speakers having a negative effect on imaging . . . therefore it stands to reason that a big bulky sub cabinet would be about 20 times worse.
I know that ideally I should experiment with placement . . . this is an extreme near-field listening room, and options are limited. I could get it to the outside of my right channel speaker . . . in theory, would that be better than in between?
32 foot organ pipe is 16.4Hz The head displacement 'whhomph' on a kick drum is about ½Hz in a rock band. Harp, contrabassoon, piano about 28Hz Tuba about 30Hz Large spaces have sub harmonics. Reproducing them transports one to the venue. Sorry to hear about the 2x woofers. Multiple woofers are seldom done right and suffer badly due to panel interference and multiple asynchronous reflections. I’m guessing they are ported. Too bad. Much harder to integrate with subs. |
@immatthewj hey dug out an old sub, planted it center in my room set, phase, volume and my low pass filter and viola. In your quest and posing the questions you made me rethink my setup and helped to make it better. Thank you! |
