No, low frequency stereo imaging in not nonsense, as jj would agree,
back when he used to participate in this group. The imaging has nothing
to do with "directionality," and everything to do with phase.


All I know is that one sub in the corner works just great for me and
has no noticeable effect in my room with my ears.
And I notice that while you have made the claim, you provide no
evidence that I can see.


Does the sub change at all the load one half of the amp output sees vs the
other?

*R* *H*


Most single-subs sum both right and left channels, and since most are self
-powered, they really don't present the amp with a speaker load at all, even
when wired in series with the main speakers. Unpowered subs, OTOH, usually
have TWO voice coils, one for the right channel and one for the left. the
speaker cone itself sums the two so they present an equal load to the amp on
both channels.
