I have a pair of Hsu subs with EQ, and my office is smaller than the OP's room.
I think erik is correct, the OP would probably be very satisfied with only one sub.

Dual subs and room size
Again, assuming your quest is a flat FR and not just volume I disagree. EQ can't fix nodes only constructive modes (antinodes). You will be happier with two half price subs versus one full price subs all else held constant if your goal is flat FR. If you just care about volume one sub in the corner of that size room will rock your world unless you sit in a node. |
@wattsperchannel Alone EQ's use with a sub is limited to reducing the worst peaks, however with bass traps in place it gets much more effective. I've tested this and there's online explanations for this. Bass traps de-energize the ringing, allowing EQ's to work better, and by reducing the peaks, you can actually reduce the decay rate. It's pretty awesome. You also get to moderately fill in the nulls. Not perfectly, mind you, but damn better. :) 2 subs assymetrically placed are better, but again, 1 sub + traps + EQ is pretty remarkable, and my suggested STARTING point for anyone. Best, Erik |
