Would you choose 1 ou 2 subwoofers for a stereo set?


Would you choose 1 bigger sub or 2 smaller ones?

For a living room 6 x 8 meters (speakers on the smaller side). (3.5meters high)

Mcintosh MA9000 + BW802 D3

I listen mostly to digital audio (DAC / Streamer)

Looking into 1 JL Audio 13" or 2 JL Audio 10"

Been living with a pair of 10" woofers in Kenwood cabs, 3 way units with the crossovers' disconnected from the tweets and mids; no big loss....
Driven by their own amp, so no conflicts...  Bottom is to a self-amped 8" Polk stand-alone sub.  Reasonably satisfied with the results, and the price was right, voices decently...*s*

Intrigued by the distributed bass concept (4 smaller subs ) and the means to give a go on it; 4 - 8" for the time being....got the goods, just need the time to fab it up.

IF that has some 'deficiencies', can add a stand-alone 15" (have a pair, sadly unmatched); for unreasonable levels of THUMP, have a 10" more suited to be part of a bass-ers' vehicle (magnet structure is the size of an old-style quart oil can and you'd not want to drop it on your foot, nooo....).

Overall space is 40' x 28' with 12' ceilings, so have the cubic feet to fill... ;)

...and so much for the radical ohm on the deranged...

Good weakend, y'all
