More than one subwoofer?

[Oldschool1]

I have a challenge with my room and would like some opinions....
As with many my HT doubles as my living room. The room is 17' x 14'. The viewer/listeners seat (sofa) is against the back wall (14' wide) that has mirrors floor to ceiling the entire width. The left (17' long) wall is wall to wall glass with vinyl verticle blinds I keep closed most of the time. Opposite of the sofa, close to the left corner is the television screen and of course the left channel speaker is to the left of the TV. Directly opposed to the sofa is a fireplace and to the right of the FP is a wet bar nook. The right channel speaker is in front of the wet bar. To the right of the sofa its all open to the rest of the home. (studio condo)
The surround channels are each side of the sofa in the room corners. Currently my sub (REL T9) is behind the front left speaker in the corner and is producing some nice sound. I would like to add another (possibly two) sub/s to the room to give more deep base and overall smoother bass. My initial thought is to add a sub to each side of the sofa. Any thoughts?
I have a drawing of my layout however I cannot figure out how to imbed an image into a post.

The easiest way is to open a free account with photobucket, or some other free image hosting website and using the IMG link they provide. After you upload it to their site, they should give you a code that looks like this, but as one continuous line. I just broke up the line so you could see the code.

When it is one continuous line it should look like this.

Opposite of the sofa, close to the left corner is the television screen and of course the left channel speaker is to the left of the TV. Directly opposed to the sofa is a fireplace and to the right of the FP is a wet bar nook. The FP has a very rough (rectangular stone texture) surface so its not a good reflector as say a wall is. The right channel speaker is in front of the wet bar. To the right of the sofa its all open to the rest of the home. (studio condo) To the right of the sofa, there is no wall. The room is completely open however the ceiling height is 8'. Note the steps. The ceiling height in the living area is 10'.
The surround channels are each side of the sofa in the room corners. Currently my sub (REL T9) is behind the front left speaker in the corner and is producing some nice sound.

Btw, Thank you Mr. Fuzz for the tip on Photobucket....

Use the link with code to have it display the image rather than a link.

Putting the current sub next to the couch will already get you more bass. The other issue is, you are sitting in a less than ideal location in this room and that could easily contribute to poor bass response. Have you calibrated or tried the "crawl" method for locating the sub? I'd HIGHLY recommend you try those first.

I am getting very good base however my objective is to be emmersed in base as though its all around. In other words more even around the room. The REL T9 is a true sub base and does a great job for movies. What I am after is mostly for HT applications. I want to feel the explosions. One thought was a Rythmik F15HP but that would have to be placed either to the right of the sofa or mid wall to the left of the sofa. Another thought was two subs, one each side of the sofa. With that concept, using two SVS cylinder subs. Opinions?

Well I have decided and discovered the corner behind the left front speaker is producing outstanding base. It energises the room nicely added to the fact its just now getting broken in and its fidelity is openning up nicely. Watching blue ray movies and being suprised at the low bass is a delight for sure!
So my idea is to really fill the room with smooth and even bass, two more subs, one each side of the sofa might just send me into bass nirvanna. Everything I have read states more subs placed strategicly give more even bass and more output. At $1100 each it will be a bit pricey but compared to the rest of the system its not that bad.

Thoughts???
