I currently have 6 labs that I either use in one line of six, with mid tops stacked ontop as a mono stack, or split into 2 stacks of 3 wide for stereo stack applications.
In the next month I'll have another 6 labs ready for action, so will be able to do 2 stacks of 6 labs.
My question to the forum is as follows:
When stacking 6 labs has anyone tried going 2 wide, 3 high laying the labs on their sides. I'm thinking of doing this as a way of getting the sub over the heads of the audience to "throw it" a bit further and also raise the high of the mid-tops.
Would like to hear people thoughts on this.
Jeff.

The lab subs are horns so anyone who has dealt with horns will be able to answer your question.
Such a configuration (Two wide, Three high) will give you are narrower beam width. This will give you a better control.
Even with labs stacked three high, that's still short unless, your compression drivers are 10 - 12 feet in the air.
What about stacking the Lab Subs three across standing up and, placing the other three directly on top standing up? Not only will you have an even tighter beam width, but also the Lab Subs will now be close to 8 feet tall instead being short of 6 feet. You can then, throw your Mid-High cabinets on top, which should have your compression drivers around 12 - 14 feet in the air.
I’ve helped a DJ last summer, doing the above configuration, and it eliminated the spilling of the bass on the sides, and the compression drivers were 12 feet in the air.
