Obviously, wall midpoint locations result in optimum room response, based on the std anyway. Not surprisingly, symmetrical configurations seem to work better than nonsymmetrical ones. Four subwoofers results in the most symmetrical configuration and the best results, but with significantly less (normalized) low frequency output than two subs.
Här kommer litet vetenskapligt förankrat tips hur du "placerar" 4 subwoofers utan stora ombyggnationer eller en massa dämpmaterial. Utan mätningar släcks de flesta störande rumsresonanserna och ger nästan lika bra effekt som av 5000 subwoofers. Lyssningsarean blir relativt stor men ett krav som inte får missas är att lyssningsarean måste vara minst 1/4 längd/bredd från närmaste vägg (se bild). Värt att pröva är en nästan lika bra placering med högtalarna i hörnen. Ljudtrycket ökar markant och/eller kan du använda mindre subbasar.
Using very large numbers of subwoofers would result in cancellation of room modes. For practical numbers of subwoofers, there appears to be no obvious correlation. When you consider the additional expense of using more subwoofers, there is certainly no justification for using more than four. To the contrary, it was observed that the LF factor actually went down for larger numbers of subwoofers
