this and something you said a few posts back about tall stacks of subwoofer boxes

i guess the lesson is that how the drivers are aligned may also make a difference for in-room FR.
e.g. 8 drives on the same plane would likely sound different than 4 DO boxes stacked in 2 levels.
I would not be surprised if there is measurable difference in frequency response even between single dual opposed and single dual font firing boxes, depending on position.
