In any case...

- Most modern, high-quality, two-way mini monitors will produce fairly flat bass response down to at least 80 hz, the maximum crossover point recommended when using a subwoofer...

- If crossing over from the mains to the subwoofer at a point higher than 80 hz, where bass starts to become unidirectional, it is better to use two subwoofers (or one per speaker and each sub in close proximity to the main speaker) in order to preserve stereo separation and imaging. Otherwise (for example), you'll be listening to a bass or baritone vocalist recording and all of a sudden, the vocal imaging will switch from the 3' high level of the mains speakers down to the level of the floor where the subwoofer is located, as the singer traverses the lower depths of his vocal range.
