I'm setting up my HT equip. in a new home. I've decided to use two subs in this house, rather than a single. After posting here a couple weeks ago about the benefits/tradeoffs of stacking the dual subs vs. placing them in opposite corners, I've decided to place them in the front corners of the 12'X18' room (instead of stacking in one corner). As info, the subs are 8" front firing, Bic bookshelf speakers (mains, center & surrounds), the ceiling is an 8' high drop ceiling, wooden walls, carpeted floors.
First the placement questions. This may not matter, but should the subs be placed parallel to the side walls, or "caddy-cornered" with both pointing to the sweet spot?
Calibration questions:
How do I calibrate dual subs? In the past, I've calibrated my system (audio/video, including a single sub), using the S&V Home Theater Tune-Up disc and a Radio Shack SPL meter.
Calibrating two subs baffles me. Do I do them one at a time? Or set both to the same SPL level, and calibrate them together?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
