Why dual subwoofers ?


Just got a new processor ( EAD 8000 pro ) that has outputs for two ( stereo ? ) subwoofers. What advantage is there to going with two subs ? Does it really make a difference ?

Lej1447- I use two subs from one dedicated subout and split with a Y from the receiver, as well as a y on each sub cable to input to BOTH r and L inputs to each sub. I stack mine and I have a somewhat small room which enables me to do this. I am still tweaking but can make some brief comments on a much lengthier topic; Stacked subs give me more DB at the lowest extension of the sub. Splitting the signal of course allows a lower gain to be used on each sub for same SPL. Separating the subs can indeed "clean up" the bass, but also can easily reduce the volume.

I have a fair amount of tweaking left to do but I am leaning towards one sub for music and two for HT and I like being able to do that frankly.
