Bay Audio classifies three types of subwoofers:
Rumble Subs

theaters.

of 40Hz through 100Hz.

SPK-0SUB In-Wall Updated July 2011
What’s Loud Enough?
We like subwoofers to produce
at least 96dB continuous
(100dB for high-impact theaters)
throughout their range at the
listening position.
For background music systems,
performance to 85dB is
appropriate.
Volume First Sub Second Sub
1,500 ft398dB 103dB
3,000 ft396dB 101dB
5,000 ft394dB 99dB
7,000 ft392dB 97dB
Determining Output
Corner Loaded SPL
Placing the SPK-OSUB low in a corner will yield the
greatest bass output. Adding a second Sub adds 3
to 6dB of output, depending upon how close the
subwoofers are to each other. The chart assumes
the first subwoofer is placed in the corner, and the
second is alongside a side wall.
Wall Loaded SPL
Use these SPL charts when placing the SPK-OSUB at
least 4 feet from the floor or an adjoining wall. This
chart assumes both subwoofers are placed at least 4’
from the floor and adjoining walls.
Volume First Sub Second Sub
1,500 ft393dB 98dB
3,000 ft391dB 96dB
5,000 ft389dB 94dB
7,000 ft387dB 92dB

Determining Room Volume
Room volume is Width x Length x Height of the
primary listening room, plus a portion of the
volume of any rooms that are connected. When
placing a subwoofer in position 1, add 25% of the
volume of Room B. In position 2, add 50%. In
position 3 add 100% of room B.
