Pairing different Subs

Hey everyone here's my situation. I currently have a DIY Maelstrom-X with EP2500 amp. It is a very nice combo and plays very low. However I can't seem to get that earth shaking bass I seem to crave without clipping the amp or bottoming the sub.

I was thinking of buying two old style ED A5-350 with the 300 watt amps and placing them underneath my LR JTR 12LFs which are about 3 feet off the corners of my room. Then I will move the Mal-X nearfield behind my couch/chair.

Any thoughts on doing this? Would this be $1100 well spent or just pissing in the wind?

I' surprised at the lack of punch with the Mal-x. How big is your room?

Are you going to use the A5-350s to cover the upper bass? If that is the case, why not DIY using good quality pro drivers that handle the upper bass really well?
