Stacking


Greeting, I have a set of LaScala ll  looking into horn loaded subs as in the Tuba 24. I'm limited for space, so will it have a negative effect if I stack the LaScalas on top of the sub?

I would never stack speakers on top of subs!! Way too many vibrations going both ways. If space is limited put the subs next to the speakers or stuffed in the corner of the room. Put them next to a couch or chair and stick a lamp and a plant or some coffee table books on the subs. Blocky end tables. 

From what I've been gathering is, I would need a larger sub than the Tuba 24. People have been suggesting the table Tuba. With that unit, I haven't any room upfront. Right now my LaScalas are 9.5 center. If I add the bass units up-front, that would make the LaScala s 7' on center. That would be my best bet ,I guess. 

Right now, I have not run all HT wires under the floor, so my subs are stacked in the corner. It works, but it's not optimal. DSP helped, but they need to be moved. 

What did help was putting isolation pucks under both subs, decouple the subs from each other and the floor.
