Adding a 2nd Sub to a 2 Channel System
Additional subs will excite modes and contribute to a fuller sound and flatter response. A left and right signal will further benefit sound quality and lushness in these respects and in higher frequency bands depending on layout and recording. I d... 
Do we really need anything more than 8" woofer and 1" tweeter for medium size room?
jafant3,974 posts08-15-2016 7:26aminna-an excellent 8" sub will work fine (Sunfire) Yes and at least a couple others, Rythmik REL and Miller and Kreisel 8" just to name drop a few more. For full ranges try on some Audio Note and Snell 8" both c...

TOTEM Sttaf removing mass loading
A few specs of residual kitty litter doesn’t weigh much, I would not worry about it. As long as there sealed up appropriately. "totem also recommended ’beaks’...yeah, right." The beaks can make a dramatic difference. I hung around while a friend ...

You can find very good deals on Exposure amps, 2010S2, but your looking for more power so I will suggest the 3010S3, class A preamps and mono blocks or dual channel power amps to back them up. No frills, nothing but the music. I wont say you will ... 
Best type of Sub to consider?

Albums you can listen too all the way through and it's all good
Dire Straights Brothers in Arms (coincidentally that's playing through now) 
speaker coupling question
Cement slab being substantial speakers may sound even better as one with the floor, anchored somehow. Anchoring methods may not be as attractive though ;)  
sound wave speed and other ways they behave/react.
Great links thanks for those and the book issue. Im putting one together modelling it after others Ive seen, with a few of my own tweaks added. I was thinking of a diffuser absorbtion dual treatment. Its only 2 feet by 4 feet though, some 10x10 wi...
