seanheis1: Many OBs need space to breathe and should ideally be kept well clear of front and side walls.
One other comment about bass & the reason I use subwoofer reinforcement below 50hz:
Much live music is amplified through horn or box speakers so we often don’t hear vocalists or instruments ’naturally’ anyway. Even using four 15" OB drivers as I do, this cannot recreate the depth of live sound or indeed something as subtle as a foot stomp on some solo acoustic albums. OB bass gives the speed and transient attack of real instruments and correctly blended sub bass the final sense of realism.
