1 Subwoofer or Are 2 Better??

"IME, 2 is MUCH better. Some people would suggest that all of this is usually inaudible, so YMMV."

But it is measurable. ;-)

Kal,you been hanging around J.A. to much.

Kal,on another note,I had asked you a few months back if you thought all amps sound the same.I'm still waiting for a reply. Thanks.

1. The only reason I posted is that I added a second sub this weekend.

2. No, I do not believe all amps sound the same. OTOH, they vary much less than do speakers and rooms.

The answer could be dictated by your particular rooms acoustic signature. After adding a second sub in my HT space My Pioneer's room correction easily displayed the difference with its on screen EQ display. Honestly, I couldn't hear a significant difference in this room. I did notice a significant difference while at another location in the house.

So, in my house the answer is, defiantly maybe and yes. IMO for now it wasn't worth the expense but I'm not taking it out. I'm betting the audio quality for mass media will soon improve to a point where it will take full advantage of the current hardware. The quality is there the problem is post production and the medium.

Sure two would be better. Four would be better still. It comes down to how much to spend and place to put them.
I bought one JL F-113 Fathom sub and it is awesome.
Again, two would be better... 2 costs twice as much, and I am not sure if I have the room for one more JL sub.
I use the JL sub with my Stereo system.

I also have 2 more subs (Outlaw Audio) for my Home theatre which is loacted in the same room with my 2 channel set up.

I think I still have a M&K 250 Watt 2-12 woofer sub if anyone is interested.
