 Since your mains are fed full range and are not crossed with a HP filter, then the manual crossover on your sub will have to be quite low to ensure the common frequencies aren't additive creating a peak. This is likely what you heard.
If the sub is crossed low (i.e. < 60hz), then its location with respect to sound-stage is irrelevant, since it won't be localizable. Place it where it integrates best with the room and the mains. Use REW and do a response check to set it up properly.

Agreed. Have a look at the -3dB spec of your mains, that might be a starting point for the sub crossover
If you don't use REW, then a couple of warble test tones an octave above and below might be useful for level checking?
