150 hz. is awfully high...

You'll want two subwoofers if you are going to try that. Remember that bass is not truly omnidirectional above 80 hz or so.

If you want to use subwoofers to handle bass duties as high as 150 hz, the best solution is to use two subwoofers. Place each subwoofer very close to the main speakers (directly underneath each main speaker, if possible) so that channel separation will be preserved.

The next best solution, if you are determined to go all the way up to 150 hz with a subwoofer, would be to place one single subwoofer directly in the center of the two main speakers (preferably at speaker height), so that any unidirectional bass will seem to be centered in the soundstage. Otherwise, your subwoofer will reveal itself as a separate sound source distinct from the main speakers.
