Subs and room nodes

Hi everyone. I have heard so much about how multiple subs cancel out room nodes and I am a believer. I would like to learn more about how this happens. Let’s say your sub crossover is set at 80hz but the room node is at a higher frequency. If the sub doesn’t come in until 80 hz and lower how is it able to cancel the node? This is in regards to my new 2 channel dedicated room that I will be adding to my systems page soon. Thanks.

Hi Ron

Congrats on the new room. How many subs do you presently have?

Subs in a system is unfortunately not a fashion statement. Going sans sub might look chic but might sound anemic. It’s about frequency response at the listening position and your room will have a lot to say about that. Your dealer will most likely take some measurements and will give you his verdict. But you probably already know the answer. Two subs might be all you need. Good luck in your journey. It’s going to be fun.
