Why dual subwoofers ?


Just got a new processor ( EAD 8000 pro ) that has outputs for two ( stereo ? ) subwoofers. What advantage is there to going with two subs ? Does it really make a difference ?

Robedk, I belive that the dual subwoofer outputs on your
preamp have the same .1 signal. The second one is for use
on large rooms where one sub might not be enough. Another
reason is when one wants to use two small ones instead of one large one and blend the system with the room decor.

I use two subs on a 2 channel system, one gets the signal
from the left channel and the other from the right one.
The sound is awesome, they are big (Linn AV-5150) but the
sound (bass) did improved a lot. I started the system with one sub, didn't like it because I felt that the bass was coming from one side of the room. When I got the second one
the image came back. As stated by Themadmilkman,Slappy & Vvrinc the use of two subs will cancel some of the satnding waves and the bass will be cleaner. Hope this helps.
