One or two subs


Here is my set up, SF Cremona Ms, Cremona center and SF Toy monitors, Yamaha CXA5000 powered By MC205. My option for sub are these only, please do not suggest another brand, Rel R328, two Rel T5s or two Rel T7s. 60/40 for movies, thanks.

I had two subs and used a Dspeaker 8033s ($400.00) to control the room nodes. I'm now using the Dspeaker Dual Core 2.0 and can't believe how good the bass sounds.

Just my 2c
I've been using my two Velodyne HGS-15s with an SMS-1. Since I acquired a second SMS-1, I have been reading the manual about daisy chaining them so each sub can have its own acoustic room correction. I think I'll give it a try.

Guys, thank you for all your responses. Ive decided to go with two Rel T7s. My pre is the yamaha cxa5000, has dual sub outputs but the second output saids for rear sub, should i just plug into that or get a RCA splitter, thanks and will update once i set everything up.
I'm going to ALWAYS advise against some recommended loudspeaker location recommendation layout in an owners manual, as there's simply too many unacounted for variables to consider for best results. Each layout and seating situation is different. Bottom line is loudspeaker / subwoofer placement in the room for any given room layout and seating locations, acoustics, etc, is going to vary greatly. And while some owners manual or recommended setup in a book can give you a rough idea, you still need to find the main seating location, and set speakers and subs according to those first, and then plot other seating after that. Then measure and listen for all, and maybe make tweaks and adjustments.
Never follow some random piece of literatures setup instructions for your space! Your ears are final judge - but measurements will always need to fall somewhere near accurate for good sound and performance. -especially when it comes to bass response! EQ the rest...
