THEORY OF RECIPROCITY REGARDING BASS RESPONSE
of the front wall, rear wall, side walls, and the floor. These reflections both reinforce and cancel the original direct wave, depending on the wave length vs. the path length. If the path length is an even multiple of the direct wave at any one given frequency, the reflection will reinforce the first wave since it will be mathematically additive and will cause a peak in the response at this frequency. However, if the path length is such that the reflected wave is out of phase with the main wave, there will be a cancellation in the frequency response. Researchers have found that the dips and peaks in the response can be very powerful, with 18dB variances across the bass range! Note that this effect occurs with ANY speaker design no speaker system can overcome the law of physics
