Why do you guys pursue a flat frequency response when you buy a subwoofer?

Contrary to Miller’s myth many sub designers are very aware of Earl Geddes seminal work on multiple subs

What myth? Hello! Tomic601! What myth??? Where did I ever say many sub designers are not aware? There’s a function, cut and paste. Please use it to substantiate your insult or withdraw it. Thank you!

OP you have three subs. Thus this thing is a whole lot easier for you than most. Simply put all three in one room and find out for yourself what happens.

tomic601 not letting you off the hook. I know perfectly well the last thing I ever do is promulgate a myth. Serious insult buddy. Prove it, or apologize, or be forever branded a liar. I think we all know which one it is, but I’m giving you the opportunity to pretend you read me wrong.

@tomic601 , I agree on the forest of subwoofers issue in the house.... If the number rises above 2 in a room, i fear my wife will take a flamethrower to all of them. But, yeah i love Danny and his contributions. My dual Rythmiks are the model with Danny’s driver.

At this point, i’m thinking if
a) DIY might be the route to take....This requires the user to do a lot of research, is competent and has the time to take the DIY route.
or
b) If guys like Danny from GR research may tailor something for ya if you gave him a comprehensive set of measurements for the specific room with your subs.... But, i guess it may be impractical considering how busy guys like Danny are. It may be nice if some manufacturers could explore this business model.

This got me thinking to my times in motion picture sound and looking at big sub cabinets and drivers by JBL and others.

A sub at home typically only covers 2 octaves, 20-80 Hz. It is actually very difficult to produce a speaker which is anechoically flat through 2 octaves with steep roll off after.

Most subs I’ve ever seen have a natural response which is rather hump-shaped. It is the integration with the speaker and the room which provides the smooth and expansive bass people are looking for.

Miller - who made you King with a branding iron ? You think there are dudes who know and those who don’t. Nowhere do you differentiate between users and designers. If you paint with a broad brush “ dude’s” you have people like me who fill in the details. I am guessing you have yet to actually hear a Danny R or Richard Vandersteen sub ... as I recall your last post about DR’s product utube video focused on the drape of curtains...
so... flail away Charlie
