1 or 2 Eclipse sw8200?

[roadshop3 10+ year member]

I've decided on the sw8200 driver, and it will be powered by an infinity 1211a amp.(850rms @ 4ohm, 1300rms @ 2ohm). I was going to run only 1 woofer in right around a 2 cubed box and call it a day.... but my curiosity is getting the better of me and am wondering if adding a second sub is going to make that big of a difference.

my question: which will be a better set-up:

1 sub in a 2 cubed box or 2 subs getting each a little over 1cube.

I say go with 2. Perfect power match for them as well @ 1300wrms.

I got one in my closet that I used for a year. Going into home theater duty now.

Ideally, a large sealed box will yield the flattest response. I used it in 1 cube sealed for 99% of the time, and was pleased with it.

VERY accurate subs.

isnt this the tc9+ (lms) based sub... if so then yes, they will like a huge sealed box
