Re: Downfiring flanking subs ??
I see what you mean, with the wall being the 1/2 wavelength marker for the main speaker. Well, it's worth a shot, and certainly better in terms of SBIR than a conventional front mounted 3 way woofer. Thanks for the guidance, Wayne.

Re: Downfiring flanking subs ??
The two issues are (1) acoustic loading and (2) path-length distance. If down-firing, we also have the potential of suspension settling, but that doesn't apply to you 'cause you aren't talking about down-firing. So since you already have considered the...

Re: Downfiring flanking subs ??
Thanks, Wayne. In a previous post, you recommended against placing the flanking woofer TOO close to the front wall. I understand the acoustic loading may impact the woofer's performance, but I wanted to check if something else may be an issue. Thanks, a...

Re: Downfiring flanking subs ??
What you're describing may work well. It's definitely better to have the flanking subs near the boundary than it is to have them near the mains they're flanking. This is counter-intuitive, I know, and it would not be true outdoors where we would want t...

Re: Downfiring flanking subs ??
Hi Wayne,
Apologies for digging up an old thread, but this seems to be most relevant to my question.
I have left and right speakers that are approximately 18" wide. I have them toed in at 45 degrees with the inside rear corner touching the fr...

Re: Flanking subs with multi-sub optimizer, and other questions
I have proven to myself over and over again that my short term listening impressions are laughably unreliable. I also appear to have a challenging room. I will try not to post anything within a month or so of initial system setup, particularly as the mai...

Re: Flanking subs with multi-sub optimizer, and other questions
Sounds good. I've always used monopole direct-radiating subs for flanking subs and multisubs. Hornsubs are just too large and dipoles aren't in my wheelhouse. But I would think dipoles might just work very well for various flavors of multisub setups, ...

Re: Flanking subs with multi-sub optimizer, and other questions
I'll start assembling the mains next week and see if I can report back with listening impressions after some time.

Re: Flanking subs with multi-sub optimizer, and other questions
Dipole subs will give more than one phase - which is actually good for breaking up the room modes - so I would expect good things from this kind of setup.
Please report back what you find.

Flanking subs with multi-sub optimizer, and other questions
I intend to mate my mains (ported, tuned around 50hz) with an old Hsu Research vtf-2 (ported, tuned around 25hz). For use as flanking subs, I currently have two Dayton RSS265HF-8 woofers on each side, each pair of woofers in a Linkwitz specified W-frame c...
