You need to read Soundhound's posts on stereo subs.

Even if you don't have stereo subs, but do have multiple subs, and even if you are sitting in one spot only (just for yourself) you will still most likely not be getting the best performance possible from your subs when using one SMS-1 - as I have explained above.

While I have not used one, I have no doubt that the SMS-1 will work well in multiple non-stereo sub applications, but because it will be sending the same signal to each sub, rather than an optimized signal for each sub, it will be a compromise.

If it did not come through in my original post, my issue is with Outlaw's statement that a single SMS-1 will "squeeze every last bit of performance from any subwoofer configuration you could throw at it". I simply can't see how this can be true. "improve" or even "dramatically improve" I can believe. But "squeeze every last bit of performance" I can't - not from one SMS-1 as configured, and multiple subs.

This is not a matter of semantics.
