Vandersteen 5 / Quatro Owners--anyone adding a third sub?


I have a pair of Model 5s and also have a "spare" 2Wq that's been in storage (and is currently for sale here on the 'gon).  If it does not sell, I plan to play around with it in my audio room along with the 5s.  Has anyone done this, and if so, any pointers in terms of placement, etc?  I'm going to put it on wheels with a long signal and power cable so I can just roll it around, but would appreciate any points of view.

My listening environment is a long, narrowish rectangle--essentially a formal living room and dining room that are one big space, roughly the proportions of a shoebox.   Speakers are at one end against short wall and listening position is just a bit less than halfway down the long axis.  Left speaker in a "standard" corner and right speaker doesn't have a sidewall (open to entry foyer). 
Thanks in advance for your wisdom!

why ? Was my first thought..as- a former 5a owner and now 7's...i never wished for another sub..
How well setup are the 5 ? I assume you have Vandertones ? And the RS analog meter and picked locations using the excellent manual?
Have you over equalized ? Trying to hard for perfectly flat will disappoint.
Post up some of your post EQ db #...use those 11 bands well...
Have you mucked about a bit w level and Q ? Those are a bit more subjective.
I think the third sub will just mess up the tuning..but hey, what do i know.
RV answers the phone...i would love to be a fly on the wall for that...
Important, very to use vandertones, they are on the EQ freq centers and i believe ( not confirmed ) adjust for the RS meter.in essence calibrated.
I would reset using that first then add the sub...as you say, you have it !
I love unvarnished....
I talk to him about one time every moon, i will ask.
My guess after the grumble will be tune each side with it in circuit, measure at listening position..
