All things being equal Iwould pick 1 12" sub for HT and 2 10" sub for music. If you want your sub to do double duty, I would go with the 1 12" because it goes lower.

It's not that your JVC doesn't play VCD's, it's that it doesn't play any recorded CD or VCD.

Get an Apex DVD player in Walmart or something and it will play everything (except DVD Audio and SACD).
