Did I make a mistake with the spec of my new system?

[QUOTE="Vaughan, post: 74184, member: 693"] A single subwoofer is easier to set up for [u]one[/u] location (usually one seat). The next location will be less-than-ideal. How exactly are you setting up your subwoofers ? Phase issues can be easily mitigated with correct positioning [b]and/or[/b] using the phase control. If the subwoofers are not equidistant then yes, you will have mismanaged time alignment issues between the two subs. Are your subwoofers gain matched or level matched ? Where have you positioned your subs ? Crossover settings ? Phase settings ? The more deep bass sources you have in a room the smoother the bass response will be. Always. If, however, you don't set them up correctly (optimal positioning, gain matched, correct phasing ), the response may be worse off. One can't position two subwoofers in any location and expect decent results. It requires trial and error. The response at the listener is dependent on the combined response of both subs. The individual responses of each sub in isolation is, for all intents and purposes, irrelevant. If you set up two subwoofers using completely dissimilar levels then the results will be skewed. Besides the physics which are water tight, I've never come across a situation where multiple subwoofers gave a worse response over a wider listening window. [/QUOTE]
