Mitch4t, That is correct.
Subwoofer Height and Number of Drivers
.
Does subwoofer height factor into the way its sound is dispersed? I see that most subs are of the short box-type cabinet. However, there are a few configured as towers in a two-channel speaker system. Most of those in the short box configuration have one or two drivers. The tower configurations have four or more drivers in its cabinet.
The VMPS Very Large Array towers are six feet tall with five 12 inch woofers and one 15 inch woofer.

Does having multiple drivers in a taller cabinet provide better sound dispersion throughout the room than a shorter cabinet with fewer drivers?
Back in the seventies, most of the speakers that I saw in the stereo stores were the box type that sat on the floor without any feet.

Now, all speakers are elevated off the floor. Why not all subwoofers?
Is there an optimum subwoofer height?
Are more drivers better?
