Is there any benefit to having dual subs?

99% of the time no. I have two subs in the A4, but only because the 8"
one is factory fitted in the parcel shelf. The 10" JBL does most of the
work.

One thing I forgot to mention - the A4's factory fit speakers are
actually very good, so I haven't bothered changing them. The speakers in
my Fiesta (M-reg, MkIII) were appalling, so I replaced them with Sony
custom-fit units, coaxial rears and component fronts, with tweeters
flushed into the top of the dashboard. Whether or not you need to do
this will depend on how good the factory fit speakers are.

Most cars now have fairly decent speakers fitted, but M-reg your mileage
may vary. My Fiesta's were appalling, my friend's Astra had fairly
decent speakers and sounded good when the head unit was replaced. Best
bet is to try it. If it sounds bad even after replacing the head unit,
upgrade the speakers.
