Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

I dunno, but...

Based on my own experience, and theory, I would also recommend two or more subwoofers. I use 2x Rythmik F12G servo subs. They are placed at the midpoints of the long wall, so they do not excite any of the odd order axial modes associated with the length dimension, and they are placed symmetrically on opposing sidewalls, so they cancel any of the odd order axial modes associated with the width dimension. If only I could elevate them to the midpoint in the height dimension, then I wouldn't have to worry about odd order axial height modes either, although that is almost a moot point in my room since I have a 7'9" ceiling. Given that subwoofers cover a frequency range where the lowest odd order axial modes dominate (100, 010, 001), placing two subwoofers smartly gets you most of the way to flat bass. Four would be even better.
