I would love to measure the distortion and frequency response of your stacked subs. I would have loved to measure your 12, 10, and two stacked 8's as well. I bet it sounded good to your ears, but it would measure very poorly over most of the room, with some areas getting a ton of bass, and others having it sucked out. You would be surprised how forgiving our ears are in the deep bass, and how measurements are not so forgiving.

Anytime you are up in my area, let me know. I'd be more than happy to have you come and do some bass measurements. For me, having two subs stacked has me very pleased with the results from my listening area. I'm not going to say that this WILL work for anyone else, but it doesn't hurt to give it a shot. Have you tried it?
