Only real way to know is to experiment. That's half the fun anyway. 
What you propose sounds ok, I've seen it done that way before. Depends on the room. Another option that some swear by is to put them at mirror image points. Such as along the side walls, one sub on each wall in the center of the wall. Or use the front and rear walls if you can.

Well, that depends. The basic idea (usually) with running them at seperate ranges is that you've got a "good" sub and a big, noisy one that plays real low. You cross them over at about 35 hz, since that's where most human hearing falls off. The good sub plays the audible frequencies, and the big one handles the really low stuff just for added rumble. Again, something to experiment with. Getting two subs working well together is tricky. You've got a new hobby.

It's either that or use some bass controller box that can do it.
Your problem will be the sub that is plays the higher frequencies. You need two filters on that one. The knob on the back will simply set low pass filter to keep the sub from playing any higher than the setting. (Not exactly, but that's the idea) You also need a high pass filter, to roll off the sub at the point where it hands off to the other sub. The really low sub can just use it's own low pass as usual, just set really low.
You can probably find an inline high pass filter that plugs into the subs input jack. That's the really simple solution, but probably the best fix is to use some bass controller that has the options you need.

| I have read of people running both subs at the same time and I have also heard of people running one sub to say about 40hz and letting the other take care of the lower stuff. What would you guys suggest to be good advice? Run them together, or let the yammy take care of 40hz and above and the xsub take care of the lower. I want the most rattle and sub feel possible, so I thought running them both at the same time would be best.... |

| One last thing, if running one at a certain hz and the other for the lower end, how do I adjust them? With the knob on the back correct that states the frequenies? |
