I agree, definitely 2 big subs for a big room...
Would you choose 1 ou 2 subwoofers for a stereo set?
Would you choose 1 bigger sub or 2 smaller ones?
For a living room 6 x 8 meters (speakers on the smaller side). (3.5meters high)
Mcintosh MA9000 + BW802 D3
I listen mostly to digital audio (DAC / Streamer)
Looking into 1 JL Audio 13" or 2 JL Audio 10"

That is lay intuition tv. The speed a woofer can move is indicated by the upper limit of its frequency response. Most 15" subwoofers make it easily to 500 Hz. The transient response of a sub driver has to do with the relationship of its motor power to the mass of it's moving system. One issue is certain, the distance a driver has to move is directly proportional to the amount of distortion the driver produces. The smaller driver has to move farther to produce the same volume producing more distortion. The main disadvantage of larger drivers is the size of their enclosures. I use two 12" drivers per enclosure which is like using one 15" driver. I did this for packaging reasons. I do think once you get beyond 18" the cone becomes more difficult to control and pistonic motion can be lost.

Neither, I’d go for two big subs from the likes of PSA (you can have two big ones of those for one JL Audio, and not sacrifice bass reproduction quality - on the contrary). |
