For those in this thread who have tried one sub vs. two stereo sub, what did you gain by adding the second one? Was it worth double the cost?
But it doesn't have to be double the cost. That's the thing. The benefits of multiple subs are so great you will get better bass from 4 no matter what your budget. You simply have to recalibrate your thinking by looking at it differently.
For example, say you have one really really powerful great $4k sub. Will two at $8k be twice as good? I don't know. But I do know for certain you can get four subs for $4k that will walk all over any one sub, be it the $4k one or even $8k, or whatever. Doesn't matter. That is how much better four are than one.
