I would say 1 better quality sub, but stereo subs are nice, you can tell the difference with well recorded music
my primary concern as it is would be lousy placement options. I could fit my sub between the wall and my desk but pulled away from the back wall, as my speaker stand will be there. I suspect that would cause a lot of reverb tho. other option would be to place it in the center between the two speakers, under my desk…but again, I suspect there would be reverb as I can’t have it as far forward away from the back wall. lastly, I may have the space to put it beside the other speaker, pulled away from the wall. that last spot would give it some room to breath, but I guess in the end, I’ll just have to put it in each spot and see what happens.
Yeah just mess around with placement until you think you got it right
/'me takes sub apart and places pieces here and there…complains about no bass with his music.
Agree with M0N on this one.
The location is very important with 2 subs (and even with 1). If you cannot get them in the “right…ish” location. No point of going for 2, instead go for 1 good or better that you have. Better location with more settings and options for getting it sound better.
Also if the location for the 1 sub aint good… that would be first place to start.

Also of course depending of the sub also and how it works.

I have my subs similar to the two subs alternate position and it works out very well, adds a better sense of depth, soundstage, and more realness imo (although I have more than enough bass output with one tho lol, went a bit overkill there)
That is also the same setup i use, alternate position or 1/4 room mark.
With some diagrams aint the Best location but it is Very good location.
Since i can blend everything together with the rest of speakers, under one adjustment gear. They work very very well.
Once you get the subs properly integrated in the system, it’s pretty awesome lol
I have 5!
MiniDSP is the king of sub integration.
Are all 5 same make and style? do you use any in a tower array?
Hi mate,
I have used them in a tower array but not anymore.
I have 1 custom (2 x 12") in a single cabinet, 2 x krix seismix 3 (similar to PB1000) & 2 custom 12" by ascension speakers.
I’m in australia, so you won’t have heard of Ascension or Krix, most likely.
I’ve got the Krix at the left and right rear of the room, summed together. They share the same signal from minidsp.
The Ascension subs are front left and right and the behemoth 2x12 is in the centre.
I’d love to upgrade to 2 Rhythmik FV25HPs and sell the Krix, but it’s hard with no real supplier of Rhythmik in aus.

I’m using two Rythmik F25s and it’s pretty awesome
Yeah! I bet! I need that sweet servo power in my life…
I really just want to make sure I have enough headroom in my subs to keep up with my amps, though I don’t think I’ll ever be able to max them out, its nice to know I have it.
18.2 in the car by dynaudio
at home still a downfire 2.1 nearfield
in the living room a kind of 6.2 - it’s a Teufel Cinebase 
judge my wife. Used to run a 7.2 - that was after last renovations gone
serious thought
as a downfire sub is less directional
could be an alternative for some?
Depends on the room if a downfire would work better for some, also typically I think of downfire for home theater
