Which subs are best for home theater?


I now have a double 12" self-powered sub that I'm using in the front channel for home theater. I am thinking of adding a rear-channel subwoofer. My dealer has suggested using a single 15" down firing sub in both front and rear channels. Would a 15" in the rear be overkill? Should I use a 15" for the front? And maybe use the double 12" sub for the rear channels?

Another question would be is a double 12" sub better on audio than the single 15" sub?

Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

I use 2 ASW-800's in the front chanels as subs and one in center to make a full range center chanel. I also use two BAG END infra sub 18's in the rear with life like results and I never find it overpowering. My dedicated theater/listening room is 13' X 26'. I use the ASW-800's (right/left) for 2 chanel audio also and I have had many compliments from audiophiles on the sound. Good Luck and enjoy!
