Hi Romy - Yes, the sub is Bruce's seismic. It is big as a refrigerator, and the idea of having 2 huge boxes in this little room is, well, intriguing.... Being new to subs, isn't there an obvious danger of over loading this little room with too much bass energy? Or is it more an issue of having 2 distinct sources for balance? I don't think we're talking about stereo imaging issues at these low frequencies.
Regardless, before diving into the masochistic hell of trying to locate 2 gigantic subs, maybe it's a better idea to figure out how to use 1, properly. If one sub is challenging, than 2 are more challenging. My one sounds ok, but it's all over the board. Sometimes too loud and booming, and sometimes like it isn't there at all. Varies tremendously by program material. Practicing integrating with my other speakers was way easier by comparison. bty, the Seismic has a 4th order crossover ~70Hz, ~5 or 6 dB bass boost at 30Hz, and use a folded horn path. I know your (low) opinion of these tools, but it is what it is....
About RTAs, Bruce and my local guy, both advise that RTA "might" help, but just as likely lead on a wild goose chase. They advise against the RTA. But you know me, I'm kind of stubborn and may pick up an RTA anyway...Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
