You think that's bad. Someone built eight of my horn loaded subs. First time out was a disaster. It turned out that three of them were reverse polarity, so for all intents and purposes his stack of eight worked like a pair. To top it off he built home theater THT rather than one of the pro-sound models, against my advice.

I had both of your Tubas, 3 actually, terrific subs for HT, but too low for live sound. One regular and 2 Low Profile which were stood up. Amazing perfomrmance. Had to let them go as a package when I downsized my space.

  Absolutely too low for live sound, but try to tell that to a 20 something who not only thinks he knows everything, he has a high school diploma to prove it. :)

    Assuming it's a male...............
    At least he had no fear of sawdust!
    Hope he leaned his POLARITY lesson!

    Hell, once when I was bi amping (real bi amping with an active crossover) I had my wires mixed up and the the right side woofer getting the right side woofer feed but the right treble driver getting the left side treble feed and vice versa. This went on for some time but the tone and clarity were still good; imaging and all that was never something I listened for much. Anyway, having deluded myself on audio matters (and on other things than this) I've no doubt of the ability of others to delude themselves.

      I don't feel so bad as I did the same thing with my setup... sounded good so I thought. Only found the feeds mixed up when an IC from the active crossover when bad.
