where the single sub vs multiple sub debate is concerned, even when the single sub is of a higher caliber, i understand that usually it's preferred to have multiple subs placed around the room to even out the response. however, does this benefit hold when the subs will be in close proximity to one another?
my situation is that there's only one place in my room for subs - approximately 60" wide. i can therefore use one larger "better" sub (funds not diluted over two enclosures and drivers) or two smaller subs with less expensive drivers. for example (i'm not firm on these - also looking into JL Audio, Rythmik and Acoustic Elegance), one TC Sounds LMS-R 15 or two TC Sounds Epic 12's.
I understand the benefit of multiple subs in the room, however, i can really only space them apart by a few feet. will this tight grouping have the same frequency smoothing effect as when multiple smaller subs are placed farther apart in the room, or since they will be virtually colocated, does one 'better' sub make more sense?
