    What would the difference be between a dual 39+/s1000 and 1 Ultra/s1000

    Ok right now I have 2 39CS+/S1000 and I am about to move and I might not be able to fit both in the room... So I was wondering what would the differences be if I used only 1 Ultra and used the full 1k from the Samson amp to run it??? Will it have the same out put as the dual?? Thanks Mark
