I am using a HSU round sub. The manufacturer designed it for near field performance, for the most even bass response. But I found that anything over 40hz was localized.

When I upgraded to a 5.1 bass management system, I moved the sub to one of the front corners of the room, to blend in with the front and center speakers better, and was able to roll those speakers over at 80hz. with decent integration.

The largest amount of movie sound track info goes to the center speaker. If your center (like mine) has limited bass response, I recommend locating the sub up front. Also, the LFE channel may go higher than you think, adding to the localizing problem ( some movies use a constant "rumble" during a high emotional scene, which is very irritating if you hear it coming from behind.
