Dual sub will put out a more complete sound vs a summed single sub. It will also improve imaging. A second sub will not fix an erronous single sub placement.

Bass primarily comes from main speakers. Place those and listening areas first. Diyan papasok si Cardas. Arm yourself with a tape measure.

Madalas we blame the sub pero taga salo lang yan. It will add presence and impact. Optimize your main speaker and the sub will follow.

Hehe jk. Eto sir, kung may oras ka makinig ng podcast: Home Theater Geeks w/ Scott Wilkinson.

They tackle room acoustics on these 2 episodes:

Acoustics 101: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raAyF5ksbkk
Acoustics 102: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_DQWB0mAOo

I really liked these interviews. The guest is sort of funny :| hehe.

Having a wall behind your listening area reinforces the bass by a lot. Bass is strong in the dining area because that's were you back wall is.  Maybe you can reorient your listening area accordingly?  Also these subwoofers take a long while to break-in. I almost sold my SVS when I thought it wasn't giving enough HT LF but during a home demo with a potential buyer, it suddenly became punchy so I cancelled the sale. :)

I believe it's not the sub because i tested my HT sub in same location and ganun din effect, so i believe it's either my sub placement or my listening position.. or basically the room itself...

Brader yan din iniisip ko eh.. kaya panay sukat ko kung gaano kalayo magiging listening position ko.. Kaso kelangan ko mga acoustic panels sa walls right.. Concrete yung buong wall na yan eh..

How far is the sub from the listening position?
Feeling ko, masyadong malapit. Yun mga low frequencies, di pa natatapos yun full cycle, nanjan na sa listening position mo kaya di mo nadidinig or mahina.
