Taboadax, lo de que la "room gain no existe" o "sólo se da en salas totalmente herméticas" (según lo escrito por LSound) es otra nueva falacia como las que no tiene acostumbrados. Sólo tienes que coger un sub, medirlo al aire libre y luego tras ubicarlo en sala (a no ser que la sala sea acústicamente grande), con tal de que la estancia esté cerrada (no hace falta poner burletes en las puertas y ventanas para dejarla hermética!

) hay una EVIDENTE GANANCIA medida... y es lo sabe cualquiera que haya medido alguna vez un sub o una caja. Otro tema muy diferente es que en ciertos casos no se obtenga ganancia.
Mis Beta20 BR en campo libre bajan hasta 57hz para por debajo caer en picado... y mira por donde en mi sala me dan los 20hz previo a la EQ con sólo 6dB de caída sin ni siquiea estar colocadas en una esquina (dato imposible de lograr con una caja BR de F3 en 57hz si no es con la ayuda de la ganancia de sala
Y es que sólo hay que informarse un poquito:
Room gain is a room thing related to acoustic size, unrelated to what kind of woofer is or alignment is used.
What happens is that if you think of free space, you can easily picture the sound radiates away from the source. When you put a speaker in a room, the sound also radiates BUT when the frequency is low enough so that the longest acoustic dimension is about a half wavelength or less, then the room acts to confine the pressure instead of it bouncing around and being absorbed.
In an absolutely solid concrete bunker, once your well below the lowest room mode, room pressure is proportional to driver displacement.
From the speaker point of view, this provides 12dB per octave gain as the frequency falls. In a perfect world like this, that slope EXACTLY compensates for a sealed box's roll off which also reaches 12 dB/oct.
That reciprocal set of slopes fix or EQ each other and the response extends flat to DC.
One of the extraordinarily few cases of a nearly free lunch.
In a real room, not a 3 foot think concrete walled airtight bunker, the slope is always less than 12 dB per octave due to flexing and leakage.
Rooms I have measured (and this would be from a number of averages) tended to be in the 3 to 9dB per octave range, open plan houses having the least room gain.
System types;
Sealed box speakers have an asymptotic roll off that is 12 dB per octave although in the region of the knee, it can easily be less if it is a low Q alignment.
Vented boxes, passive radiator alignments have an asymptotic roll off of 24 dB per octave, basically, the higher the order of the alignment, the steeper the roll off is.
Tapped horns tend to be an in between alignment, typically in the 15 to 24 dB per octave range depending on the horn size relative to wavelength.
You can hear room gain yourself in your car where the room gain corner F is usually around 50 - 60 Hz. Here, a small sealed box with a 50Hz corner will deliver deep bass in the car when the windows are up.
Hope this helps.

http://www.avsforum.com/forum/155-diy-s ... oms-6.htmlIn Earl Geddes' brief study of multisub systems published on his website, we can readily see the effects of room gain. This study probably assumes a more effectively-sealed room than most of us have, so the room gain here may be more than we can normally expect, but I think it's wortwhile to see how it plays out in the modelled response
http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/multi-wa ... uning.htmlGeddes realizó un estudio sobre la ganancia de una sala hermética, donde se gana todavía más de la ganancia obtenida en una sala típica... pero decir que no hay ganancia alguna en nionguna sala típica es sencillamente una barbaridad (pues en casi cualquier sala doméstica sin ser totalmente hermética, se produce cierta ganancia por debajo del primer modo del eje mayor).
-Otro tema bien diferente es en un sistema multisub, donde como es de cajón la ganancia por debajo del primer modo va a variar sobremanera dependiendo del tipo de sub empleado y fase relativa entre éstos...
donde de nuevo tampoco es difícil obtener ganancia simplemente jugando con dicha colocación y fases relativas de los subs:
http://www.harman.com/EN-US/OurCompany/ ... omsPt3.pdf-aunque otros apuestan por apenas ganancia (en sistemas multisubs):

The first modifier to be considered is subwoofer gain.
Intuitively subwoofer-to-subwoofer gain differentials
greater than 10 dB would seem wasteful, especially when
one considers maximum output level and efficiency at low
frequencies. Also a gain-value increment of +6 dB is attractive,
since this value could be implemented by doubling
the number of subwoofers at a single location. With
these factors in mind a range of acceptable gain settings of
0 to −12 dB seems reasonable.
