I have heard that 2 subs are better than one but what about quality? Which would be preferred 2 dayton sub 1200s or a single hsu stf-2? They come in close on price and are definitely more "budget friendly" on the sub spectrum.
The value of dual subs is that they can play louder than a single unit, and with proper placement they will help even out the various room modes everyone has. Two subwoofers will not play deeper than one can, nor will they improve quality, so your particular situation and needs will determine which option is best for you.
^^^This.
How big an area are you trying to pressurize?
I haven't heard that specific Dayton but I 've heard the Stf-2 and for the money it sounds quite good in a smaller room. It still sounds good in a large room but IMO it certainly doesn't fill a large room adequately.
I would pick one HSU... Think about it. 120 bucks for a driver, amp, cabinet. The components while may work and sound fine, can't be called 'quality'.
The HSU isn't exactly a diamond either, but they have a huge reputation for great sounding products at reasonable prices. It will sound a lot better and have better extension as well. Buy an HSU now and save for another later and you'll be much, much happier you did.
You can find Dayton Audio subs at parts express, and they're a solid, reputable vendor. I believe they're on sale right now also.
