At 100 Hz, 1 wavelength is about 11 feet, so the monitors are about 1/2 wavelength from the wall (you said they were 5 feet out) so on that basis a 180 phase shift should be about right. But there may be substantial phase shift in the woofer of your monitors,particularly if its ported, so the problem becomes more complex. I use a Paradigm X-30 electronic crossover to bring in my sub at 80 Hz, and to roll off the low end on my satellites. I find that plugging the ports on the satellites eases the crossover problem. (a plug of foam or polyester)Getting a sub to work really well is always a hassle, but well worth the effort if you can get it right.
