Right behind my listening position works best for me. Can keep it turned down enough to not muddy up the sound of the main speakers but still feel the thump in my back.
Single Sub Position
Been moving my sub about to the right or left of rig for months. Still not happy turn it up and midrange gets smeared turn it down and punch just drops. So finally broke down and did the floor crawl thing with sub in listening position. Son of a biscuit it worked. Really didnt want it in this position but it sounds so much better.
How many people end up with it here?

I think these posts show what we have always experienced at Lone Mountain and TransAudio- each room is different and where "the subs go" is just as different as the room itself. Ive almost never had the same location work out in two rooms- especially in untreated or undertreated rooms. Drives some people mad as the desire for visual symmetry is strong- even to the point of choosing a lesser performance location.

I've never been a fan of subs because I just couldn't really get them to sound right / integrate the way I wanted, until, I placed an SVS PB13 Ultra directly behind my listening seat pointed at my back. Omg, listening became a visceral experience. It sounded amazing. I bet the 4 sub setup sounds good too. I forgot what it was called. But basically get 4 subs and place them in all different spots to smooth out nulls and peaks and to gain headroom.

@soix Then 3 subs works even better and 4 even better yet! I have attended some demos where there were 4 very small cheap subs turned down almost so low you couldn't tell they were on and it was amazingly consistent bass throughout a small room. Ive also gone the other direction and supplied 5 very large high power ATC subs to Blackbird for their very large ATC ATMOS rig and positioning 3 in front and 2 in back worked best socially. A lot of ATMOS set ups don't have enough bass in back. Brad
