Nah, not only do I have philisophical issues with Bose - they are in Boston... I like the west much better, thank you.

For everyone else following along - interference can be construtive or destructive. So, it you balance things right, the net effect is similar to a single sub in the middle of a football field (with some gain) ...at least in a frequency response sense.

Pat Brown's article that you refer to is pretty good - and you can draw a lot of conclusions for how to set up a dance hall with high ceilings or a concert hall from it. But, like most clasical acoustic science, there are a lot of issues in small rooms that are a bit hard to imagine without vastly more complicatied modeling.

Luckly, Floyd Toole has done some work on this subject and some fairly easy to understand presentations are available in several places.
