Using the automatic room optimization with the JLF112 and setting the crossover and phase is really simple. The sub integrates well in my home theater . I think you will likely be happy with your F113. If your not sure buy one now and if you still feel that there is not enough bass (not likely) order a second one.
I think 2 JLF112 will sound better than 1 JL212.
I agree with both of you.. However I want 2 because it will balance out the room visually on top of it's audio benefits. Granted my room is far from a finished theatre room like the one posted above. Infact my room has alot of faults in it that I wished I had corrected before I moved my gear in there. A future project perhaps. Keep in mind my current address is only temporary. I do plan to either buy or build a home, with a real HT room in the future.
