Why 2 sub?

Just goggle Multiple Subwoofers.

* In brief; it evens out the bass, more balanced by using more room boundaries.
...Less peaks, and less nulls. ...And from a larger listening area.

** Two subs are much better than just one.

**** And Four subs is best.

---> That is for a normal (large) size Home Theater room. ...Say 20 feet by 28 feet or so. Or even slightly larger.

For a much smaller room, two subs usually do the trick. ...Better than just one.
And if the room is truly small, just get two small subs.

I run 4 subs in my Florida Theater.

Of course you do Ivan.

if the matrix is running 8 would be even better, no all kidding aside I am sure 4 is the way to go on movies for sure

And we know they are not small ones Ivan

Ivan:

If this is a redundant question from previous posts, my apologies up front. What size is your theater room in Florida that is running the 4 subs? I have 2 subs (15") up front in a 25x17x10 dedicated room. Would me adding more be of any benefit do you think? Anyone else care to opine on the latter question? I was told that they may cancel out the fronts if I add subs in the rear of the room. Hmmmmmm. Remember, I am a rookie at all this.

Thank you kindly.

Jim

Jim,

The Florida Theater room is 22x24x14 or 7392 cu ft. Yes I believe you would benefit.

I have a total of sixteen 12" drivers in the front: twelve in my XRT2k's and a pair of down firing subs w/ two 12" drivers each, also in the front.

In the rear a pair of Gotham's, each one has a pair of 13.5" drivers.

I like my explosions & bass to sound and feel real.

Thank you Ivan and Joost! I am a big "bada-bing, bada-boom" guy myself. While watching movies, I like loud crash, boom bang, and loud (clear of course) music like that exhibited in portions of the latest Tron movie. Thanks again guys, as always.
