Should I use 2 subwoofers?

How do I set up dual subwoofers?

What to Know

1. Easiest: Connect one receiver output to one subwoofer and the second one to the other subwoofer.
2. Next easiest: Use an RCA Y-Adapter to send two parallel low-frequency audio signals to two separate subwoofers.

Are two subs twice as loud?

If you have two subs, with each having 100watts, then yes, your total subwoofer system would have 200watts. This doesn’t mean it will be twice as loud though. It will be more powerfull, maybe +3dB, which may or may not be noticeable. But, it will create a better sound in your area.

Is a 1000 watt subwoofer loud?

A 1,000-watt subwoofer doesn’t have to play any louder than a 100-watt subwoofer. The watt rating is a rough guide to how loud a subwoofer might be able to play, but it doesn’t have to be louder. You always control the volume. In fact, a 1,000-watt sub may sound better at “regular” room volumes than a 100-watt sub.
