so to get best results with two subs you would need a 2x300W RMS amp at least but for a single sub a 2x150W bridged is enough or a 350W mono.

2 subs is over-kill... great for show cars and stuff... but unless you want the world to here your bass line... there's no point

i think it's obvious that i would stick to 1x12" sub

hope this helps...

also... it depends on whether you need to carry your woman's shopping or not
hangon, its been established that 2 subs, of near the same quality as a single, (that is, say, 2 of the second best in the vs 1 of the best in the range) would provide better quality than the single..

Different when you go into a totally different brand and pricepoint, obviously.

extra sub doesnt instantly mean extra volume, you can still turn the speakers down, you dont have to drive them at insane volumes just because you can..

as far as amping the thing goes, i'm looking if i go down the 2 woofer road, individual monoblocks amping each sub....wont have an issue with power
