While in theory it is true that the larger wavelengths of extremely
low frequencies are basically nondirectional, the fact is that, when
installing a subwoofer within the limited confines of a room,
reflections, standing waves and absorptions generated within the
room will strongly influence the performance of any subwooferPRIMARY
