You are going to have to define "more" for us. I mean with the three subs you have unless you live in a cathedral you should have more than enough output.

Bass Boom
I'm always hungry for bass, I intent to add a third sub to my existing HT system to get more for bass.
But I've been told a BEHRINGER Ultragraph Pro FBQ3102 Equalizer can do just what I want to get more bass boom out of my 2 subs SVS PB2-ULTRA (2x 12" drivers) and Velodyne model F-1500BF (15" Driver), both are active subs.
So I end up bought this Behringer FBQ3102.
Now before I hook this up to my 2 Subs, I need some help:
1. Will I get what I want, the "more powerful" bass out of my 2 Subs with this Behringer?
2. How I should hook it up? Through sub out put or using the 2 mono channels equalizer to each of the 2 subs?
3. What is the setting (each frequency equalizer and parameter) to get what I wish for?
4. How I should set the parameters at 2 subs?
THANKS for all inputs and suggestions.

John, how should I say, I feel my two subs is not loud enough, when I compare to my (small) HT in a box in my living room or bass boom of audio in some of my friend cars.
No matter how I tweak the cross over and volume at two subs, it sound just not powerful enough to bring out the low bass. Well not to my expectation at least.

Have you experienced a car stoping at you side and hear that deep bass migrate or vibrate into your car? That kind of bass (boom). of course I will not turn my HT to travelling subs. I just want a bit more bass out of my existing set up, is this possible by including a Behringer FBQ3102?

You're just looking for pure SPLs and low soundquality if you're wanting car sub SPLs in your house. How big is your room? Unless your room is aorund 10,000 cu ft I don't see why those 2 subs should give you a problem with SPLs. Are your subs colocated? Where are they placed?

Copy. OK then what you have is, apparently, the upper-mid bass emphasized over the deep bass. First of all, because you are mixing two different brands, make sure they are all in phase. You might find the Velo fighting ths SVS's if they are out of phase. One sure way of checking this would be to disconnect either the two SVS's or the Velo and see what happens.
Beyond that, all I can think of is room placement issues. You certainly have very good and powerful subs.

EQ and bass traps will improve SQ, but if he really wants what he says, "deep bass (like that which) migrate(s) or vibrate(s) (from another vehicle) into your car? That kind of bass (boom)," I'm not sure improved SQ is what he's after.
What he describes would be readily accomplished by accentuating the kind of 40-60Hz nodes others of us strive to eliminate.

He certainly can create that boomy kind of sound easily enough with an EQ. But maybe what he should do is trade his SVS and Velodyne for four cheap (boomy) subs.

Actually, the two subs may be smoothing out the FR by canceling nodes, as is often the case. Trying just one, as John F. Palacio suggested, may restore some of the boom and provide a sound the OP finds more pleasing. Trying different locations and/or tinkering with the phase controls might result in reinforcement of the desired frequencies as well. A listening position near a wall can also possibly add a boomy sensation, if that alternative is feasible.
