2 subwoofer???


Hi All,

I've heard that using two subwoofers eliminates many problems associated with having only one. If this is true, can they be any 2, or do they have to be similar or identical subs?

thanks in advance,

This technique is usually used for HT when the subs are in mono or LFE. You can cancel certain room modes by placement with 2 subs much better than one. On our resource page there are a few articles that can be very helpful, possilbe the most helpful is one by Todd Welti and Floyd Toole of Harmon International on how many subs. For this technique to work the subs do have to be identical.

I use stereo subs to reinforce monitors. Sounds great. It helps tremendously if you have a symetrical set-up. A kick drum does sound like a kick drum. It is exponentially more difficult to set up stero subs though.
I tried 2 subs with my B&W matrix 804's and they added a depth to the soundstage that was unknown to me before. I have since switched to Legacy's Focus 20/20 which is like having 2 subs in a speaker. Definetly an improvement over 1.
