It depends in part on the room, but as a rule, two subs stacked will combine their output for a 3-6 db gain, which is alot. If there is trouble in this corner of the room, having a sub in each corner, or in other locations, may help even out the room response. What kind of subs are they, and how are they set up now?

Thanks for writing back, my room is 13x22x8 in the basement. my crossover on the subs is set to the highest range so i use Denon crossover in to play. One sub is MK 5000 THX. My system for my front speakers are set on large because the 603 have mid and woofer.THANKS
What is the other sub? How high is the MK crossover set? The room is aobut the size of mine, also in basement, so i am familiar with it. Haven't you been happy with the amount of bass so far?
THE 5000 HAS TWO 12'' PUSH PULL @400WATTS CROSS OVER SET TO THE HIGHEST. THE 150 HAS TWO 12'' PUSH PULL @200 WATTS CROSS OVER SET TO THE HIGHEST.CROSS OVER SETTINGS 135 ON BOTH. I HAVE BEEN HAPPY BUT , I WANT THE MOST OUT OF WATCHING MOVIES,THAT IS ALL I DO WITH MY ROOM. THANKS
Try backing the crossover down a bit, this should help things out. I'm thinking like 80hz. Then just start experimenting with room placement. If you want maximum output, at the possible expense of smoothness and overemphasis, put them in the corners, and try stacking them if you want. You're probably close to getting what they are capable of and either have to be happy finding a better placement, or move up to a bigger sub. 15's, 18's, and horn subs are the big daddys. A true 35 hz horn sub with a single 18 is about the size of a fridge but is a beautiful thing.....
Otherwise, just watch the movie and be happy!!
BTW, the quality of your current subs should be decent, eh?
