I know this topic has been covered repeatedly but I just have a few fine tuning questions.
I used to separate my subs until I read that coupling them made for better bass. So I started doing that. I was just reading some of Fitzmaurice's stuff here http://billfitzmaurice.info/forum/viewtopic.php?t=398, and leart that wall placement further improves the sound and corner placement makes it optimal. This all sounds well and good but the diagrams seem a bit confusing on the website link. Let me get this right here, for wall loading, I place my subs about a foot away from the wall, speaker end facing the wall, with both speakers angling away from each other rather than completely side by side, right? Also, this may sound dumb but If I wall load about 15 feet away from the dance floor, will this cancel out any benefits of wall loading (in other words, is closer to the floor preferred)?
For corner loading, the diagrams are really confusing me. It looks like the subs are placed at 90 degrees angles to one another with the speaker ends facing the corner with a piece of wood or something shoved in there.
To make it easier, can't I just put the speakers side by side and point them at the corner or the wall?
