I knew of a guy in Canada with 4 SVS subs in his home theatre

TheFactor? hmm.gif He has 4 PB13-Ultras. IIRC, ronaldjoe did post the photo.

  I wanna add, is it necessary to use 2 twin subs or mix also can?

It is never easy to calibrate 2 subs in a room to make it blend nicely especially when you have 2 different brands / designs (Sealed and ported). It is always recommended to use the same make and model when you are doing multiple subs setup.

I shall not bore you all here. Here's a good link for your reading :

I am actually glad to know that more and more people are learning about subwoofer rather than plonking it in and set the gain high up to produce 'whoompa whooommpa' floor shaking bass while overwhelming other details from speakers.

and obviously someone is not reading the link that I posted above sweat.gif

By using 2 subs of the same make and model esp if you put it in both corner of your front, it will yields better result with better bass response across a wider listening area. Not to mention that you will gain 6dB out of it (usually), you can trim it down on the gain to get 75-78dB, which will be lesser burden to both subs.

And here goes the link on "Are 2 subs better than 1?" :

Qustion:
I will increase 3db sub level after I have done auto calibration.From what I have read before,auto calibration cannot do accurate sub level compare to others speaker due to LFE. So if soon I want to calibrate using SPL meter,just set to c-weighted slow response and adjust volume level gain at sub until it reach 75db..correct me

Yes, you are correct on it.

most subwoofer have both input and output audio terminal, why not use the output from this subwoofer to drive the second one?

this must be better than using Y connector because it will degrade signal quality as it is shared by 2 users

They call it 'daisy chain' smile.gif

Better go for Denon 4810 coz it has 9.3 pre-out. Effectively, 3 sub connections. Yay!
