Hi haven't been on the forum for a while....
This is a question kind of for Wayne if you don't mind answering. But anyone is free to give the opinion.
At the moment I'm using a 2 way speaker with stereo subs below and overlapping the crossover up to 150hz.
Not a true flanking sub approach as the room doesn't allow for the subs to be placed away from directly below the speakers.
I do have the subs turned 180degress so there facing the rear walls to act like a woofer in a different place.

My question is.
Do you recommend subs with passive radiators or is it best to stick to sealed subs? ( or ported)
Also my second question is, if a flanking sub has its driver facing forward but a passive radiator facing the rear wall will this act the same as facing a normal driver towards a wall and help the transitional area if crossed high enough? Acting like having a woofer in a different space.

Thanks in advance for the help.
Hope your well.
Jon
