As far as volume goes, yes, the volume is lower with dual subs.......obviously the output is increased since there's two instead of one, but the subs also don't have to work as hard since they complement each other. Don't remember to what extent I was able to lower the volume, but it was quite substantial.

Agree with all above. Two REL's was better than 1 + 1 REL (meaning, in this case, the whole exceeds the sum of parts).
You may find that the subs do not have be perfectly symmetrical in your space. It may require some experimentation, or modeling/measuring, but a sub crawl and some listening should work well. A good test CD can help (I used the Sound Doctor test CD, about $20 on line)
