| Subwoofer orientation?
I have been working on the design of my new theater, and I was wondering if anyone had any input as to sub woofer orientation/placement.
The room is appx. 18.5' W x 23' D x 9' H. I will be using 32 sealed 18" woofers.
I have 3 options that I am entertaining.
I am wondering which option should provide the best listening experience?
Option 1. place the 32 drivers against the back wall, spreading them out evenly, firing towards the front of the room.
Option 2. place the 32 drivers in the front of the room, with 16 facing towards the audience, and the other 16 rear firing, into the front wall, a bi-pole type of enclosure.
Option 3. Place 16 drivers in the back of the room, and place 16 drivers in the front, using the bi-pole type of enclosures.
I also have considered placing subs on the sides of the room, but that seems like a very problematic idea.
