| Re: Rear Sub I agree with Arup, multiple subs makes for great impact in movies. It wasn't untill I added my 12in DIY till I had some really tactile responses. With my Yamaha receiver I have the bass set to BOTH and my main have 8in subs with 300w RMS amps in each. I must say that my recent sitting of Band of Brothers: Battle of The Bulge episode was astonishing more real.
I now had impact bass that I could discern from left to right. This I think is what Arup is trying to explain. He is by no means arguing that there isn't flaws in multiple subs but the correct subs and placement makes a ferocious system and experience.
BTW
My towers have the main powered subs facing inwards and the towers are toed in 15 degrees. My DIY sub is adjacent to them and in along the opposite wall. The phase is set as to not cancel out the towers.
