Although belated, I had the occassion to speak with 'Kurt' at Velodyne support, (Az). About my old 10" Velo, and some connection alternatives, yesterday. Also we spoke about room size and appropriate sub applications for it.
I thought along the lines of 'two' subs. two 12's. Kurt said one 15 is better. Huh? One 15 is better than 2 x 12? yes was the reply. I still don't understand exactly, but he's been doing this sort of thing for a long, long, time... and the Velo support guy.... so perhaps he knows better. he added most very low end tones were mixed monaurally and not in stereo anyhow, and given the expense of an additional sub, especially in the SPL or DD range...well, I think I have my answer.
Also on a more 'setup' based issue... in using two vs. one, (SPL-R or DD), set up one and then the other... not at the same time... and as said above, you could simply daisy chain them together... One other isolation note and it comes from being his opinion solely, Spiking the sub isn't necessary, nor is isolating it... just set it onto the carpet, or if on a wooden floor, a good thick piece of carpeting is good enough. Thought to pass that along as it seemed most appropriate.
