    Mostly because it is sometimes a **** to get them all to play nice together....

    my sub placement is less than stellar, only place to put it was in the middle of the back wall, behind the couch. (svs 20-39), i just put my bedroom sub(velodyne dps10) on a side wall and the bass response seems to be a little better with both subs playing..guess i'll play with it and see:D

    i ended up putting my velodyne back in the bedroom. I dont think it was helping my setup much, if any. Probably due to where they were placed

    Time and patience in experimentation will get you there.
