My new hsu 2nd sub arrived today

So I ended up wiring it through the high level ins and outs from the left and right channels. So my 2 subs are wired in true stereo config. I placed the subs just on the outside of each of my LSI 9's speaker stands.

Sounds wonderful. With the 2nd sub I seem to be able to resolve kick drum and bass lines when played at same time or from different positions on the sound stage.

I think main cool thing is going to be that I have full control over bass level, cross over, or position of the low bass independently in each L/R channel. Right now I have the settings on both subs identical, but I am sure in the future I will tinker with the settings (for room problems).

I went with 2 smaller subs vs. 1 bigger and better spec. sub. It also allows me to up the low pass cross over a bit as well.

Anyone else run 2 subs wired in stereo?

    I am in a really small room (2 channel stereo room). Went with 2 sft-1 vs 1 sft-2. I actually started with the sft-2 but it was too big and I moved it to my home theater, where it will stay till hell freezes over (its that good) lol.

    So I wanted 1 sub in the beginning and ended up with 3 subs.
