2 subwoofer???


Hi All,

I've heard that using two subwoofers eliminates many problems associated with having only one. If this is true, can they be any 2, or do they have to be similar or identical subs?

thanks in advance,

Audiogon is fabulous! Thanks for all the input, and it seems as though we have some real discussion going on.

It looks as though the subs have to be identical, eh?

In light of all this excellent discussion, I now ask, would going with two smaller subwoofers give me more stable/solid bass so that the two smaller ones would equal or surpass the sound quality/volume/etc. of one larger one.

Example, would two Hsu 10" subs be "better" than one Hsu 12" sub (the exact model numbers escape me right now? Same with two Rel Stratas as opposed to one Rel Storm?

Thanks, as usual, in advance!

How does one go about hooking up two subwoofers?

Any companies known for the quality of their amplifiers?

Two subs can't go lower than each's ratings, though, can they? I know the 10" Hsu goes to 25 Hz and the 12" goes to 20. Does the qualitative difference end at how low the subs can reproduce the deepest bass? In other words, is the biggest advantage in clarity, stability, tightness, musicality?
