Best setup for large wt room. 2 open areas

The physics couldn’t care less about the possibility of theft. Placing SUB in a corner will increase its efficiency. A three way corner (floor or ceiling) is more efficient than a two way corner (wall/wall, wall/floor, or wall/ceiling). The peaks and nulls that I mentioned above actually occur in three dimensions. A taller or shorter person on my Post-It parade will have slightly different results and once you are adept at finding peaks and nulls, you’ll be able to discover smaller peaks and nulls in three dimensions throughout the room.

Likely you have a drop ceiling. In this case SUB will be more efficient on a floor corner than a ceiling corner.

I recommend mounting the ONE’s above the crowds. Making a point of mounting them as high as possible, is not the most productive use of their output. To some extent the highs of any speaker beam and the beam apex angle decreases as frequency increases. If you want to mount the speakers very high, angle them toward the coverage area.

Thanks for the 8ft above floor feedback for the one’s, that is now being implemented on installation. 

What is your recommended above floor height for the 5’s? 

Yea this is a high school gym and has a good amount of foot traction with outsiders. Not just our kids but outsiders have to walkthrough the gym to get to the wrestling room. NOT ideal but I like your idea to just lock them up each day then put back at the same spot. 

Here’s the link to mounting the subs I was going to use:

As long as the chain does not rattle (perhaps rubber covered) I don’t think that there will be a major impact on sound if you looped an anchor chain through the port.

Hi

The Fives should be mounted at same height as the One’s.

The mount you are considering for the Sub is not a security mount. It just attaches to the wall and the sub is hung from a hook through the port and held in place via suction cups.

Removing the subs at night would be my choice. Putting a chain through the port as suggested by @buzz may stop the theft but you may still wind up with a damaged sub.

Thieves tend to get frustrated when they can’t get their way and then try to destroy the object of their desire. Think taking a hammer to the sub. Dealing with high schoolers the rage to destroy what they can’t have IMO would be very high.

Meeting with the install guy tomorrow, will provide your exact feedback for implementation. 

So the Sub in the small room should go into a corner, Does it matter which one?

It doesn’t matter which sub as they are all the same in size. The only difference might be Gen 1, 2 or 3 which really won’t make a difference in your scenario. All subs should be bonded to a Five. All subs should be placed in a corner for maximum affect in a triangle position whenever possible. That gives you the benefit of two walls and the floor. If you decide to lock them up at night you need to mark each sub so that you return it to the same Five it was originally bonded to. 

Awesome, I’ll make sure each sub is in a corner. 

For the small room that only has 1 sub do you recommend a specific corner? or should I do the post it test?

Do the “post-it test as suggested by @buzz .

Hint: You can mark each sub and Five with the same color “sticky dot” available at office supply stores. That way all you have to do is match the dots when returning the subs to their correct placement spot everyday. 

Is it a problem if the sub in the small room is a good distance from the five that it is paired with?

waiting on the last 2 Ones and for the mounting. Then toning will be an adventure! 
 

Not much because you will be playing the same music. Balancing the levels might not be very intuitive.
