Two subs really helps even out peaks and dips around the room and wouldn't have to be pushed as hard as a single sub.

The only differences are about 70 watts more power for the amp with a single driver and the quality of the driver cone of the F12G , which is a design from GR Research, extending the bass further up to allow for a higher cross-over setting, of up to 120 dB. The F12G also has a lower cross-over range (low pass) of 25 Hz vs 30 Hz for the L12.
Since my room is small, two 300-watt drivers (stereo) should be better, power wise, than the single 370 watts of the F12G. In addition, since I cross-over at 100 Hz (because of my fixed High Pass filters), the F12G's extended bass capability won't be used much at that 100 Hz cross-over as opposed to someone crossing at 120 Hz. But, this is only my assessment, so I'm open to corrections.
Thanks for your thoughts.
