One or two JL subs?

I am looking at upgrading my HT system by adding new sub(s). I've decided to go with JL subs but am trying to decide which route to go. Two 112's vs a single 113. The room is 12.5 x 26 x 7.5h. I sit 12 feet from the subs. I know that JL prefers a two sub setup. But who wouldn't if you can sell two subs vs one? BTW i am not into extreme SPL's i listen to movies and music at sane levels. I would be most interested in what JL owners have to say. (Respectfully, i am not interested in in opinions about other brands of subs, i am pretty set on the JL's)

Thanks folks for all of the great input. I wonder how much a sub EQ would add to the mix. It is a lot less than a second sub. Any thoughts?

stick with the 2 subs and don't look back--sub EQ is still not the same and the jl's are very easy to set up--have fun

Any thoughts about mixing a 113 and a 112?

Keep the subs the same. The two different subs will NEVER integrate with each other. Two 112's would be MUCH better than a mix of 112 & 113.

I have just one F113 in my 18 by 19 home theatre room
it goes damn deep
a second would be nice but not necessary

my main 2 channel doesn't need a sub
