In Reply to: Subwoofer Setup Question posted by Shudson105 on December 20, 2003 at 10:26:29:
... the flow of bass to various speakers depends upon -1. Whether you are dealing with pro logic, AC3 (DD 5.1) or whatever
2. How your processor handles the bass.
If it is AC3 then having subs at the back would be useless as heavy bass is directed to your 5.1 sub. If it is in another format then the improvement would be minimal unless the processor has "small" & "large" settings for your rears. Even so, if you want better bass, IMO you are better off with another sub. We use two subs here and it gives much better coupling to the room. I did try subs at the rear once and the effect was wierd.
Hope this helps

Follow Ups:
In answer to your questions, its all 6+ channel formats. And as far as my processor is concerned, I do have different sizes of speakers to choose from for all channels. All my speakers are set to small so all bass goes to my single sub. I was thinking about setting my rears to large and use my extra sub (its a JBL 10") in my rear channels since its not doing anything but sitting in my basement and I am hoping that it will relieve my main sub a little during extremely intense moments. Also I am hoping to get around the need to buy another $500+ sub just becuase one single movie in my collection stress my sub (Finding Nemo). No other movie has ever stressed it like Finding Nemo has. And no I don't want to turn my sub down as its as perfectly set into my system as I can get and I only watch movies at reference level... ;)Thanks,
Steve
