Running 2 different subs, and what size?


Hello, I have 1 Velodyne HGS15. I am considering adding a second Sub such as a DD18, or just replacing it. Unfortunately, my room is 18'x23' with an 18'ceiling. It further partially opens up to a kitchen, staircase and hallway. Other than buying a smaller house, I would like to hear all ideas out there. Please, nobody bash anybody else, I wish to hear all opinions. Thank you all in advance.

You will more than likely need a good parametric E.Q. and some good setup info and sub position in the room will be much more criticle in a stereo sub situation.. I tried it before with 12's and it was better with them stacked on one side together opposed to across the room from each other, but in reality an interesting type setup would be to get a real Fast 10" sub for tone, and maybe a Brute 15" and stack for a complete solid coverage and 2 drivers from the same manufacture would cover the whole range where you could get the room boom out of the 15 with deepth like feel, and the 10 would keep things faster and musical, of course both would be crossed over a bit different, probably like 40 hz for the 15 and 80 or 100 maybe for the 10.. If stacked you would get just about the same bass as across the room from each other and also be able to more than likely forget about having to sink everything in with a parametric.. If I was to go back to those days this would be the way I would approch it.
