Re: Dual 10" subs in small cabinets or Single 12" sub in large cabinet? (3800ft^3)


Please understand that i am NO expert however i believe that option A may result in a cancelation of certain frequencies, personally i would try option B (with one 12 or two 10s) I have tried something similar in the past and i was not impressed with the results. For movies it may sound fine however for stereo listening a sub at the front and rear the bass would sound confused. I would try a sub next to each main...

Because i do not fully understand the physics of such a set up i would recommend you buy your sub/subs then spend a weekend trying different positions to see which one is better suited to you tastes. I am fairly confident that option A would be a pain to set up properly.

Im sure other shacksters will be able to better explain Phase complications of subs set up in position A. Thats my input...
