Question for sub woofer users


I'm kicking around getting a sub for my Quad 2805 speakers.  Here's the question;

Are subs "set and forget," or do you have to constantly fiddle with output volume and crossover point with different recordings?

Thanks in advance,

Bob

Forgot to ask a question;

I've got a Prima Luna integrated that has one "mono out." 

Is is possible to hook up two subs with only one out?

Thank you again.

I’m in the 2 subs are better than 1 camp myself. A pair of Ohm MicroSubwoofer 10’s have been in my system now for a few years and have been integrated easily (by ear) with 3 different pairs of speakers (Maggie MMG, Mark & Daniel Ruby, and Ohm MicroWalsh Tall). For crossover duties I use an old Outlaw Audio ICBM -1.

@jzzmusician .. a y-splitter would do the trick.
Yes, two subs if you can, it will be more robust and spread out.  Even though we say that bass below  a certain frequency is not directional, you still feel where it comes from.
Pretty much set and forget.  There are variables in the engineering of recordings that will make them 'stand out' or 'recede', but that's kind of part and parcel of 'modern music', genre dependent...
Proper placement....'sizing' or 'scaling', taking into account what you're pairing it with...room size....getting the crossover point 'right'...the usual variables we all know and deal with in any system...*G*
