Velodyne Digital Drive Series subwoofer in stereo

This whole stereo sub thing is nonsense. Hardly any info there. Hardly heard. If you can detect a difference, it's because there are now TWO subs in the room instead of one, and the strain on the single sub will now be halved. It's the transients you hear first when it comes to bass, and those transients are almost always located above the crossover point..ie..in your mains. The ONLY possible way you "might" be able to increase the "spaciousness" in your subs is if you physically locate them directly to the sides of your head (ala Lexicon pre-pros)...and even THAT is of dubious benefit. MUCH research has been done on this. If you really want to improve the bass, yeah, buy two subs...but DON'T bother running them in stereo. Either stack 'em or spend a LOT of time and effort situating them properly.
Done

Truthseeker if you haven't tried this in your own room what you speak is nonsense.LOL

"If you can detect a difference, it's because there are now TWO subs in the room instead of one, and the strain on the single sub will now be halved"

I'll be damn you answered your own question. If there are two working less than one..you have lower distortion correct. I've not heard a single speaker that could create a stereo image all by itself. If you have please let me know. :-)
Think of the money you could save by only needing a single speaker!WoW

Have a great day!

Truthspeaker, I'm amazed at the amount of mistruths and ignorance that can be packed into a single post. Congratulations!!

Dear Spacekadet: I'm not against your advisors that convince you to one sub instead of your original and correct idea of two subs in a stereo fashion.

The integration of subwoofers in an audio system is not only for abetter low bass performance: far from this, please read these links about:

Amazing how strongly some (Truthseeker - funny handle...) confuse opinions with experience. I was skeptical about multiple subs. My neighbor considerately lent me his sub to pair with mine, and the reponse was better - smoother, more toneful, more texture, less nodes. Multiple subs placed symetrically minimize room nodes effects. Multiple subs are NOT about more bass. Also, subs are NOT omni-directional. Try turning off your mains and running tones through your sub. Believe it or not, you will hear the sub above 200 Hz! And mine is an active 24dB/octave crossover at 60Hz.

There is so much BS on the Internet passed off as fact, by punters who never bother to learn for themselves. Warning - too much time in these discussion forums is dangerous to your audio health ;-)
