hilde 45, relative to Sub Woofer Placement 3 Subs are IDEAL!
Here's my solution for optimization of results, with 3 subs.
1) Set of 12 inch, self powered 500 Watt Subs at Far Left & Right of room, set @ 70 HZ Crossover.
2) Single 15 Inch Sub Directly in Center. This Sub Woofer is Fed its signal from a dbx 234S Electronic Crossover set @ 40 HZ Crossover Frequency, & set to SUM Left & Right Channel Inputs, which signal is in turn fed to a Classe 25 in Mono Mode, putting out an honest 1,000 Watts. dbx 234S gets its signal directly from the second output of my pre-amp.
3) Combined with PS Audio BHK Signature 300 Mono Blocks, feeding a pair of Anthony Gallo Acoustic 3.0's, three way speakers.
This combination of Speakers puts out Exceptional Non Boomy Bass with Massive Slam, as the 15 Inch Sub Woofer is driving directly into one, when they are sitting in the sweet spot.
I find the "Single Very Low Bass Sub", summing both Left & Right Bass signals to be optimum for Deep Bass, while not interfering with the music that one plays.
Try it, you will like it!
