The mouths all line up with each other, and the signal is going to all the cabs at the exact same time, so they are all outputting the same freqs at the same time. I can understand if the room is large enough and you have subs at the back of the room, but why in this case? Trying to learn.
They do directly in front of the array. As you walk to the side you start to get some amount of cancellations from the differing arrival between the middle and outer cabinets. The impact will vary based on your crossover frequency and the width of the subs. I run my T48's up to about 125Hz to fill in below my OT12's so it's much more noticeable as you walk to the sides given the shorter wavelengths. The way I arrange mine gives me about 12ft between the outer cabinet openings.
) is that you're pushing a single wavefront and lower extension is available. Think of it as being able to lowpass the T60s @ 16 Hz.
Not that the Crown Macrotech amps you're running can't run wide open for 12 hours straight, but one advantage to adding another 4 Tubas and another 2 DRs is that you'll never even have the system halfway up, even at war volume. And let's face it; you could have the cheapest drinks, the best ambiance, the nakedest women, but what is the one thing most people remember about a club? "Man, you would not believe how EFFIN loud it is in that club! It is awesome! You gotta check it out!!!" <---and "gotta check it out" translates into money for you. You have to spend money in order to make money. That's what I keep telling my wife, but it doesn't seem to register.
