Whilst playing music with a defined kick drum and percussive bassline, switch the bass polarity to negative.
If the mid bass gets weaker in level and impact, switch the polarity back to positive. If the mid bass gets
stronger with the polarity set to negative, leave it that way.
At this point try moving the position of the bass loudspeaker forwards or backward relative to the satellites
and listener to explore if there is further optimisation of the blend of the two signals.

Both speakers have the same polarity however physical positioning causes cancellation
The same physical setup with the bass polarity reversed allows for positive summation
