the difference between forward and rear firing is VERY noticeable... it completely changes everything.Honestly, you're preaching to the choir. I like a fat ass on my music as well, can always (almost always) be trimmed down with processing. I generally build my systems rear firing when applicable. But we weren't discussing personal preference, we were talking accuracy. The ideal would be to place your speakers in a space with infinite volume (zero wave reflections to cause interferance). When you rear-fire, you build in this possible problem right from the start, you will have considerable wave interferance.
The extra foot or two you'd gain on path lengths firing rearward wouldn't likely even be noticeable on bass notes up to 50ft in length (low 20's).
Cheers.
The difference between a 2 door blazer and a suburban shouldnt matter either right? Yet the response is completely different... path length plays a part //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
