... in just about all things audio!

However, a couple of things spring to mind: there's a lot of room modes going on in the low frequencies, which makes it pretty tough to call without a lot more detail about your room. You may have a mode cancelling, or reinforcing, in one part of the room and not another.

Try putting your sub on a chair in your prime listening position, then walk around the room and find where the bass sounds the best. Then put the sub there, and put yourself back in the listening position. Quite a few times this will help you find the best position.

Don't be afraid to play around with positioning. In my listening room, moving the subs a couple of inches excites a room mode at 80Hz by something like 15dB.
