I like it when things explode in THX. My 12" overpriced subwoofer will pop nails out of the wall, but it will not compete with that.
Btw, two overpriced subwoofers are better, not because they can play louder, but because in a home theater the walls are close and you get complicated constructive and destructive interference (i.e., peaks and nulls) in bass notes. The physics of low frequencies in a small room are rough on single sub installations; a 20 Hz note has a wavelength of 56.5 feet which is much longer than a typical home theater. Having multiple subs (and room correction software) improves bass performance.
I have a couple of 15 inch woofers in my basement, but they have a heavy footprint both in floorspace and neighbor relations. The sound carries impossibly far. Probably only suitable for people who actually need a truck in their life.
