I was going to upgrade to a second subwoofer but to save some money on my build were sticking with what we have.
I have currently the outlaw lfm1 and I have 2 dayton 1200 sitting around I would like to use. Is there any easy way to match these? I've always heard you don't want to mix and match subwoofers.

Level match the subs and place them asymmetrically in the room for a good FR.

I don't know your room layout but in a rectangular room I would start by placing the 2 identical subs up front on each sides of the main (inside or outside - try and error) and the other one in the back (try the middle).

yea sorry it will be rectangular. 12.5 x 20 x 7.5ft. Should have room done by mid April I will try the 2 front 1 back. Excited about having the dedicated area so I got a little ahead of my self when budgeting

Seating position is as important as sub placement. Start with the 38% rule and move a bit forward and backward by measuring your response with REW ideally. Usually 38% works well.

Something fun to try would be to co-locate the two Dayton sub-12's in the best spot close to the speakers, then run the Outlaw near-field to the main seating position. I know from experience that co-locating two sub-12's in a good spot makes these sound pretty darn good.

not quite sure what you mean by co locate.

not quite sure what you mean by co locate.

Meaning put them together, side by side or stacked.

When level matching, keep the weakest sub closer to the MLP.
