Wavelength is inverse to frequency.  So, low frequencies have the longest
wavelengths.  Radio antennas are sized to some multiple of wavelengths.  ANY
two bass cabinets in the same room would be within 1/2 wavelength.  AM
broadcast radio frequencies are in the hundreds of feet.  So, audio would be
MANY times that.

Is there an easy formula to figure out wavelength (in feet)? I was
reading the spec sheet for some of the cabinets I have and it was
stating 3-6db gains when cabinets are spaced within one half the
wavelength apart. I'm trying to figure out wavelengths for frequencies
120 Hz and lower. Thanks in advance -Nate
