Re: Improvements
Johnnycamp5, did you just put the sand on top of the speakers or under them? It's funny, it was an old thread about building a floating sandbox over a suspended wood floor that got me started on all this.
I'm often undecided about the volume level of t...

Re: The subwoofer volume and crossover
Hi Wayne,
Thanks for the detailed response.
I started doing the sub tricks with old gear lying around the house. First it was two flanking subs (in mono) placed in between the 2 Pi Towers. Then added a small sub near the couch as a distributed su...

Re: The subwoofer volume and crossover
I was generalizing the concepts and using "round numbers" in my earlier post above.
Flanking subs are setup to blend generally in the 100-200Hz region, but in practice the blending region is shifted a little lower than that. Distributed mul...

Re: The subwoofer volume and crossover
Hi Wayne,
Curious about the flanking sub and distributed sub recommended crossover points.
You're suggesting that 100 hz is good for the flanking subs and 50 as the cutoff for the distributed subs. Didn't you recommend higher crossover points a fe...

Re: Small-room acoustics
Actually, small rooms are harder to work with than larger rooms. The reflections and room modes are more intense in a small room. Speakers that can provide uniform directivity help reduce problems in the reverberent field, above around 200Hz, and as yo...

Re: The subwoofer volume and crossover
The answer to that can range from simple to complex. So let's start with simple, move towards more complex topics and then leave it to those interested to research further.
The simplest way to setup a subwoofer is the way most home theater systems ar...

Re: Small speaker flanking sub limitations.
Just been thinking and looking at my AV amp, seems I could run the flanking subs from the surround/surround back pre outs and it lets you have fronts small with crossover and surrounds large, you can set the appropriate delays and run it in 7 channel stere...

Re: Small speaker flanking sub limitations.
Thanks Wayne!
Do you have a recommendation on crossover slope? I've been looking at some pro units but there all fixed 24db I did find one that was 18db.
AV amps seem to be 12db on the speaker side and possibly 24db on the subwoofer side?
Obviously some...

Re: Small speaker flanking sub limitations.
Thanks for the reply Wayne, can you think of a song that is good to test for intermod?
I tried listening earlier with my speakers set to full range vs 80hz crossover to my nearfield sub, the differences are quite subtle and most of that was probably how t...

Small speaker flanking sub limitations.
So my main speakers are quite small typical 6" plus 1" dome tweeter. I know the idea of running your mains full range with flanking subs is to have as many speakers overlapping as possible to help smooth the response.
But if your speakers are ...
