dual subs.....how & where to install?

Ive just added another revel b15 to my existing b15.

Does anyone have experience of where is the best place to install the second unit? Ive always found with one unit, the room is pressurized from one side of the room allowing localisation of the sub, even though the x-over is set at 60hz.

I planned on putting the second sub on the other side of the room, one sub by each revel studio speaker, however someone mnetioned stacking subs on top of each other.

Any ideas gratefully appreciated,
Ian

My subs sound their best, (most musical)....behind, and just to the inside of my speakers. My room is 25' wide...this places the subs at around the 1/3rd room width points on that wall with the fronts at 24" out.

I also got good bass levels in the front room corners...not musical, even though that placement did measure fairly well.

I also tried the two side walls...not as good as the front wall in my room.... also, not as musical sounding.

My mains are planers and I'm "very" happy with the locations I'm at now...It's been truly a game of inches.
