Re: Two different subs co-located- same frequncy response - possible?


Your approach is correct, and will usually work fine as long as the sub in question has the ability to reach as low as you're attempting to equalize. By this I mean that you can't successfully equalize a sub to produce 15Hz if its +/-3dB specification was 25Hz. But, it the sub is designed to go that low and is not realizing its potential because of a poor location, then this method of pushing higher voltage at low frequencies can certainly work.

You've gone about it exactly the correct way of cutting the highs and then compensating by increasing amplifier gain. As long as the headroom is available in your sub amp, it should all be fine. The alternate method of applying boost at the BFD is simply a bad idea.
