How does adding a second subwoofer improve your systems SQ?


The title pretty much covers my question. Thanks for any insights or comments.

Good article on speakers  by Floyd Toole, close to the end there’s a section how to get great sound from a single subwoofer. As long as you’re only interested in one listening position.

Toole didn't throw up his hands in defeat to him the answer was in equalization. I also agree with his assessment that to much absorption leads to an acoustical dead room like a studio, reflections aren't all bad and the lower 300-500 hz is where most problems are unless your speakers are all over the place in the upper area. Multi sub is easier to get the bass equalized  but for a single position and enough work one can suffice.
