this might be a bumb question ?...but .is it best to have 2 subs in stereo ,of 2 runing in mono mode?

 

I always try to run them mono..

 

doesnt matter - base your decision on the amps output power in stereo & mono

 

mono

 

well some songs have different bass running through left and right.... so like with rock music some times stereo is better then mono for sound quality so you hear the full bass of the song. so it really depends on your music and you amp.

 

low fq are mono in sound - like notladstyle said depends on speaker ohms - wire to get most out of your amp...

 

Under 80hz is omnidirectional, so if you have left and right seperation coming from your subs you might want to think about some midbass/midrange

 

thanx thats very informative!

 

first, amplifiers in mono mode output BOTH channels to each sub.

Second, I dont know of any song that has varying output under 180hz.

 

Pretty Hate Machine CD (NIN), I wanna say Head Like A Hole or Sin had alternating bass hits.
