| Lots of bass at walls, lack of bass in center of room/listening position That is so fascinating using all different kinds of subwoofers. Is there any downsides to this? Do they have different speed or timbre? | |
| Lots of bass at walls, lack of bass in center of room/listening position Thanks guys for the great thoughts.Erik, sounds like a good plan.Miller, should I still use my 18s with the 10s? Like 2 18s and 2 10s?Strojo: Via RCA from preamp to subs. | |
| Lots of bass at walls, lack of bass in center of room/listening position @millercarbon: Ya I am not against a bass array. I would have to get probably 2 more subs and they would have to be smaller, maybe 12s or 14s because I am really running out of space. It would be great though if I could solve this without subs. I ... | |
| Lots of bass at walls, lack of bass in center of room/listening position Probably I need to keep playing with speaker positioning as you guys are saying. I'll try to keep moving them around. Right now they are 28 inches off the front wall with 10 degree toe in. | |
| Lots of bass at walls, lack of bass in center of room/listening position Here is another comparison, this time with left sub, 2 subs and no subs and a bit more smoothing (1/12) to make this more clear.www.diabolicaldesign.net/smooth.jpg | |
| Lots of bass at walls, lack of bass in center of room/listening position Here I did a curve with just mains, no subs and bit more smoothing at 1/12.http://www.diabolicaldesign.net/nosubs.jpg | |
| Lots of bass at walls, lack of bass in center of room/listening position @erik_squires Its in the picture above called Measurefix. The purple line is with no subs (legend on the top left). I also tried doing 1 or the other sub as well. | |
| Lots of bass at walls, lack of bass in center of room/listening position @millercarbon thanks man, I will play with it.Oh and I forgot to measure the front wall to the front baffle (I was doing to the back of the speaker). My speakers are 28 inches away from the front wall.I am gonna try to play with the toe, lateral m... | |
| Lots of bass at walls, lack of bass in center of room/listening position Guys thanks for all the suggestions. I will try them and keep tweaking. I did play with the delay of the subs based on what Tom wrote at PSA where he said you should add about 1msec delay for every foot away the sub is from you. So I have 1 sub th... | |
| Lots of bass at walls, lack of bass in center of room/listening position @erik_squires: I only have a delay knob on my subs (PSA V1800). Is that what I should play with? I don't have polarity or phase controls.@millercarbon Oh wow different subs? I thought I wouldn't be able to do that. Which subs do you have. Do you f... | |
| Lots of bass at walls, lack of bass in center of room/listening position Thanks guys. Interesting anecdote about the speaker flip thing, heh.Anyway I did some measurements. Both with subs, no subs and at my listening position and at a position that is 3 feet back and 3 feet from the left wall.www.diabolicaldesign.net/M... | |
| Lots of bass at walls, lack of bass in center of room/listening position Miller so in a smaller room you cannot get good bass without subs ? | |
| Lots of bass at walls, lack of bass in center of room/listening position I wonder if diffusers behind my speakers would help? In addition to bass traps. Because I can't pull my speakers out further than a foot off the front wall. | |
| Lots of bass at walls, lack of bass in center of room/listening position The acoustic fields gentlemen says subs in the corners is a big no no by the way.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gb_yOIuLc_Y | |
| Lots of bass at walls, lack of bass in center of room/listening position Guys thanks for all the feedback!I forgot to mention my speakers are Yamaha NS5000 and they are about 1 foot off the wall. As for the separation I know its not ideal but i just don't have much space because I have a door to the left of my left cha... |
