Hello clearthink,     This is a paper by Todd Welti of Harman International, who studied under Dr. Earl Geddes.  He specifically also states that bass under 80 Hz is not directional or localized.ttps://www.harman.com/sites/default/files/multsubs_0...

Duke,    Thanks for taking the time to review my thoughts on multiple subs. I'm glad you validated my understanding, with the 80 Hz revision, since my thoughts are all reflections of my personal experiences using your 4-sub DBA system.      You ... 
Acoustic treatment
Hello clearthink,     Okay, wiseguy.  There's lots of scientific White Papers on this subject from Dr. Earl Geddes, Dr. Floyd Toole and others.  These are easier to read, however.  I'd read them in order, Mehlau first and then the Dagogo interview...

Hello rauliruegas,       Did you read the responding post I directed to you yesterday 8/15/19?  If not, here is a direct quote addressed to you from my earlier post:"I agree with you that using better quality subs will only improve the quality of ...

Hello clearthink,       This is from an audio consultant named Bob Pariseau and he explains adding bass via subwoofers in the article linked below from his website.  He's in the 80-100 Hz camp.   https://bobpariseau.com/blog/2018/6/5/choosing-a-cr...

Hello millercarbon,     Very good post, well worded, sincere and I definitely know it's honest and accurate.  I think Duke helping you with advise even though he knew you were building a DIY clone of his 4-sub Audio Kinesis Swarm system was unexpe...

Hello Duke,     I'm glad you chimed in and shared your knowledge.      If you don't mind and have the time, I was hoping to get your honest opinion on my thoughts on how I understand multiple sub systems function in general as well as my understan... 
Upgrading sub to get a live feel.
Hello watcher,    Excellent!  It sounds like you're very pleased and are gaining some good knowledge and experience with your custom 4-sub DBA.   You stated:"Volume is fun to play with, if you set them all the same you get a better sense of space,...

Hello rauliruegas,     Regarding bass phase and recordings not done with only 2 mics or CDs with out of phase bass, my opinion is that we really have no control over that and can't do anything about it except avoid listening to poorly recorded mus...

Hello Hans,     I just wanted to let you know that taking any of tyray's advice on his last post is done at your own peril.  There's so much bad advice and false information in his post that it would take me hours to catalog them all and explain e... 
Again the topic of weight of amps
Hello atmosphere,     Running my Maggies solely with a pair of 1,200 watt class D amps and damping factors over 1,000 produces a tautness in their bass, down to their 35 Hz limit, that I have ever experienced with any other amp I've used, mainly h...
