glad OP’s sub sounds good, most of my yap is about larger spaces, not partially filled with a bed.
rear surround, Sub(s) for Video is a different matter.
earlier I wrote "Black Hawk Down ,,,,, Room filling Impact, not directional unless you have a large Home Theater, then, a pair!".
You don't necessarily want the lows from the front for video, IF the content wants the fundamental impact coming from the rear or side.
Black Hawk helicopters, Dinosaur: coming from behind, over there ... are a great way to demonstrate the advantage of 5.1 surround’s REAR speakers. And, where's the sub, i.e. where does the director want the fundamentals of that Dinosaur Stomp to come from?
I don't know anything about large Home Theaters,
I have only 1 sub in my small home theater, and it is adjacent to me, under the end table, facing forward. It takes some diddling with to get the crossover and volume 'right'. It, combines with the directionality produced by the rear surround speakers. My fronts have 12", so I only want 'big' stuff from my sub, otherwise, don't want much out of it.
Many people set their rear speaker’s (and sub(s) volume too high. Normally, you should not be aware of them, but if you turn them off, the sound/image collapses to the front.
Happily existing without calling themselves out, until they perform their real purpose which is rear/side directionality and big impact.
Pseudo Surround can be worse than front 2 channel Stereo. i.e. watching "The Voice" singing contest. Donna and I often say to ourselves "they must be hearing things we are not" because that was not superior in any way. Change your AVR to Direct, or 2 Channel, it is surprising how much better it sounds. Try this for other content, often, if the original is not recorded in surround, it sounds far better in 2 channel.
When it’s good it’s good! A terrific sounding (and visuals) DVD, one of the very first:
James Taylor at the Beacon, 1998
We were there, it was an awesome concert and the DVD captures it!
