On topic... I have an Auralex subdude in my bedroom and while it seems to help with isolating the bass to that room, don't expect miracles. Bass waves carry. How many times have you heard the bass from a car half a block away? If it's too loud, others are going to hear it.
@erik_squires It's unfortunate when one or more people suggest there's only one "best" way to get good bass. It's also unfortunate that you've seen fit to classify all proponents of a multiple sub setup as belonging to a "cult", especially since you display "fanboy" tendencies towards certain products, in particular, GIK Acoustics.
It's a bit of hello Mr. Pot, meet Mr. Kettle.
I use 4 subs in my main 2 channel system (5 for movies). I also have room treatments (not GIK). Going to a four sub setup was transformational and one of, if not the most noticeable upgrades I've made.
I have three other systems, each of which has ONE subwoofer. For my goals for those systems and the rooms they are in, one sub is enough. I've also shared more than once on this forum that one of the best systems for bass that I've ever heard was at a friend's house. He uses two subs and extensive room treatments.
When it comes to bass, there's more than one way to achieve great results. Besides, "great" is subjective...
