I went to the Regal Theater in Downtown LA last weekend. When the trailers came on I experienced an incredible sensation with the bass in that theater. It was not overly loud, but somehow you could feel the incredible sense of vise-grip power that the subwoofers had on the room. The sound system was unreal. The room felt like it was pressurized, not in an uncomfortable sense, but in a sense of absolute control. In my own home theater, I can get loud and shake the foundation with very tight bass, but I don't get the sense of absolute control that I felt in that theater. Because of the volume that I can currently generate in my home theater in my huge room, I always thought that the guys with multiple subwoofers must be nuts. Now I understand how multiple subs can help in a huge room like mine. It is not about how loud or low that you can get. I am interested in multiple subs to get that feeling that I got in the theater.
My room is 70 feet long x 22 feet wide with 22 foot ceiling height....concrete floor and ceiling with a very thick carpet and padding on the floor. That is a huge amount of cubic feet for a home theater.
My question to the guys with 3, 4 and 5 subs is what made you go beyond 2 subs and what were the benefits?
Summitav, because my room is bigger than yours, the thought of using 5 or more subs has entered my mind...something I could never dream of before I went to that theater.
