    Sub placement

    After researching (incl the plans) and experimenting on my own, I found that where and how subs are placed can really make a world of difference! I did notice that my tubas seem to sound their best the way I have them placed in the picture. Facing the wall. I do not have the BFM coupler wood yet. Im yet to make one. But anyway, the other way it seems to sound good at too is when I place at the corner. But most importantly next to a wall. I dont know about the front loaded subs though

    What about if I was in a wide open space? Like in a park

    Have a look here and pay good attention to the MAPP images also have a look at these videos by Dave Rat (Rat Sound) for some advice

    You could have just read your plans.

    While on this topic. How would placing your subs be optimal. In order to get best coverage and minimize dissipation?
