Sorry, but I can't help but think this topic should have a soundtrack that matches the title:
But seriously, I've read about two radically different schools of thought when it comes to subs:
1. If you have high SPL, low distortion mains, you need a 1-2 very expensive subs if you hope to hit >100 dB with distortion low enough to match the mains.
or
2. Our ears aren't very sensitive to bass distortion, but they are sensitive to room nodes. More, but cheaper, subs (2-4) fixes the real problem, which is the room.
Where do you weigh in and how cheap are your subs?
