RE: Stereo vs mono subwoofer output and the Parasound P5 preamp

If a sub is truly well integrated, then you cannot localize it at all. It makes no difference if it's on the left or right.

With two subs it's much better to use a mono sub signal, so you can place them assymetrically and minimize room modes. This gives you the maximum dynamic range and frequency accuracy.

Otherwise, if you keep the signal separate, they can't fill in for each other.

Of course, proper room acoustics and EQ are key to good sub sound.

Best,


Erik
