single subwoofer placement

[musicman7722]

The bass is always buggered somewhere. Oftentimes it's more even throughout the room when there's only one sub (or they are together) ('cause there's less comb filtering - no power alley).

I'd try putting the bass rig right behind the single sub, shooting cross stage. This should minimize comb filtering between the bass can and the bass in the PA.

That is what i did min my earlier post and it was terrible. Like a giant marshmellow of lows.

I have mine setup pretty much like this, no issues.

ggunn and Jimmy M, If you are only using one sub you will get more output by getting it closer to walls or better yet a corner. It is the same principle as a bass amp.

Putting a sub in a 3D corner may make it louder but often it will make the frequency response weird as the reflected wave(s) cancel and reinforce. It's the same thing a megaphone does to a human voice. IMO you are better off putting it out in the middle of the room and having plenty of power.
