Interesting, but I can think of no reason in physics why it wouldn't produce the same effect if the second sub was in the same room. I think that the increase in effects was simply because you added a second sub to augment the first.
Actual Home Theater Explosions
I just found the greatest way to improve the "earth rattling" sounds that are so impressive from explosions or rolling thunder in movies.
If you have the opportunity to get a second subwoofer for your system, put it IN AN ADJACENT ROOM with the volume way up and the crossover fairly low. The rumble it creates will make you feel like there are actually bombs going off in your house, which may or may not be good thing depending on the structural soundness of your house.
This will obviously not work for rooms that are completely acoustically isolated from other rooms, but for an average home it's amazing.
Note: This is not for casual listening uses, only for movies with serious LFE output. It would be best to turn the second-room subwoofer off for anything but large-scale movies.
