Dual subs and room size

Hi. I've been considering dual subs with speaker input to pair with my Martin Logan 35xt's and not sure what I should be considering in relation to room size. My room is 17' X 10' with the equip along the long wall. I've been looking at SVS sb1000s and HSU vtf 1/3. The SVS are 12" sealed vs 10" ported hybrid for the HSU. It was suggested that I go with no more than 10".  They will support 100% music. The speakers are pretty much an 9' equidistant triangle set up and would be looking to set the subs on the outer side of the standmounts. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dave

Hi Italian,

Best way to find out is to measure. :)

You can also approach this a step at a time. Get 1 sub, place it the best you can, measure it, plan your next move.

Empirical measurements are always better than theory when it comes to a specific application.

Best,

Erik

Get two used subs . For a g you can score rythmics,svs  little more and you can get two hrs sunfires i love mine . I started with one and honestly the places i could place it i heard it or i had bass issues. Added another and its less placement oriented .  I run pre outs to mine and once again that interconnection choice made a difference.. jmho

While we're on this subject, I have a question. Did I read someplace that newer stereo releases are being mix/mastered for separation down to 20Hz (and below)? Would this be a good reason to go for two subs?
