Your sub experience: Easy or hard?

For those of us with subwoofers, I'm curious whether you thought integrating it was easy or difficult.  That's it.

Of course, lots of DBA people will chime in. No problem but please ask that everyone stay on topic.  If you want to discuss all the pro's and cons of DBA take it to a brand new thread.  Thank you.

The focus here is just to ask how many people had easy or difficult times and what you thought was the difference.

I tried subwoofers with Magnepan 0.7's with no luck. I wired them up with a pair of DW-M bass panels which filled in the lower frequencies with much better integration. I connected the 0.7's to the 4 Ohm outputs on may Hammond 1642 SE Transformers and the two 4 Ohm elements in each DW-M in series and in phase with the 8 to 16 Ohm transformer outputs. 

In my weight training room I built a 45 SET which uses Goldwood GT 1118 pizo tweeters mounted in Parts Express 294-2924 horns and DS1B PRO-X6BM speakers with first order crossover 0.3 mH chokes. This kind of speaker system does well with a subwoofer.
