Indeed! Let me take a stab at it; think of two rowers in a boat; both need to row together in unison -doing the same "rhythmic pattern", if you like in order to be effective.
Likewise both (or more) speakers should be pumping air in unison -or in step with each other- for maximum effectiveness. If one speaker is "out of phase" as already pointed out, there will be a significant amount of loss in the low fregency range since both speakers are then 'competing' against each other i.e. they are not working together by cancelling out each other's air movements :)


Okay, I totally get it. It's like when my brother and his wife are in the same canoe. He's 6'2 and 250 lbs, and she's 5'2 and 125 lbs. They fight all the way down the river because they can't seem to get in unison and he's so much stronger it makes him mad he has to keep switching back and forth. This has been happening for 35+ years and they just haven't figured out it's best if she is in a different canoe. I've made the suggestion to no avail.

So, Boom......Boom-boom.....Boom.......Boom-boom. I'll figure this stuff out yet! :mrgreen:

That is funny Sarah, but you know something? maybe it's their secret way of having fun together! :D

I wish I had just one video from the many, many, times they veered of into the bushes or trees while everyone else gently flows down the river. I'd have to "bleep" out the vulgarities though! ;)
