The advantages of two Sonos subs versus one?

Does it really make a significant enough difference to add a second Sonos sub instead of just having a single sub? I’ve heard conflicting comments from hi-fi oriented friends posting here to get the viewpoint of those most experienced.

Maybe one of the Sonos mods can clarify this. In any case I would do both TP adjustment and finding the best placement. 

Unless TP is done for both together, TP adjustment may go around in circles with the placement exercise, making both go wrong.

As said… l don’t know how it works in detail and would appreciate any info from the mods. I just assume first finding the best positions and then doing the tp adjustment will optimize the whole setup.

Any idea how 2 subs to the left of a room (separated by some distance) compares to 1 sub to the left of a room?  It's for a great room where everything but the arc is basically hidden.

Hi @AJE1979 

No one can tell you how 2 subs vs 1 sub will sound in YOUR space. Everyone's room/space layout is different. In some instances 2 subs may not be as good as 1 and in others they are better. You really need to experiment with placement in your space to determine what arrangement sounds best. FYI, in my media room 2 subs based on how they are placed out perform a single sub.
