Subwoofers masking other frequencies.


Bought a third sub,a svs sb2000 to add to my existing 2 subs hoping for stronger and more detailed bass response. My mains are magnapan 1.7i driven by parasound A21 +. After messing around with  different ways to intergrate the subs I realized some parts of the music was missing or reduced in volume or one channel was stronger .well I turned off one sub at a time and the sound was full. Is this common and what's the remedy for this phenomenon. 
Thanks

I took your advice and set the crossovers to dead bottom and slowly increased volume  winsome good results. 
Thanks for your help Duke
My existing two subs are Klipsch rsw10 and Sony 8"both are ported. I have  the SVS and the klipsch hooked up and sounding pretty good.

What should I expect from the adjustable phase knob. Vol. Increase ? Smoothing of tone?
Thanks for the help.
The two subs are hooked to a parasound p5 pre thru two sub outputs we low pass options  which are switchable to direct full bandwidth output.
