Another age old question-Single or Duals

[jojosdad 10+ year member]

I'm redoing my entire system with the only items left to purchase are the subs and enclosure.

Is it worth the extra cost for me to go with a dual sub set up?

I presently have a single Rockford Fosgate HE 10" in a sealed 1cf enclosure that I think sounds nice but am going to replace the sub because when connected to the MTX 2160 bridged, it distorts.

This will be going in a '01 Ext cab Ranger. I'm not looking for sub recommendations

just opinions on Single or Dual?

I appreciate your input.

Depends on the sub(s) and what type of sound and output you desire.

A single "supersub" or a decent sub in a ported enclosure will get loud enough for most people.

If you're the type of person who thinks they need to hit 150db with music while driving around.....then no, a single sub probably won't be enough for you.

1 Big sub. Problem solved.

And if you were happy with the output of a single 10" HE in a sealed enclosure then another single sub setup should serve you well.

I could care less what it sounds like outside my vehicle, I'm not trying to impress anyone but myself. What I'm looking for is a bit more clean tight bass (that's why I like sealed) than I have now.

Thanks guys , anyone else?

go with possibly two tens ported or two tens sealed, but a higher quality ten. (soundstream/re/ia, companies of the like)
