RE: Stereo Subs

If the question is do you need stereo, meaning two subs, the answer is one or three(or four). But multiple subs are to position subs to handle room interactions since the best position(s) for sub are rarely the best position for the main speakers for imaging and dimensionality. But as far as deep bass stereo goes, there is none. Bass is omnidirectional. In fact if you stand next to a real sub playing deep base you'll think the subs aren't working. The stereo imaging for bass comes from bass harmonics which come from the main speakers.
