It's better only one sub than more. If you use more than one you've got frequencyes canceled in some zones of your room.The best option is to place one sub connected to your amplifier and move around your room with somebody seated in your listening zone a nd you notice where is the best position when you find it.
Although that is the conventional wisdom in my HT I got much flatter response and larger sweet spots using two subs placed at the 1/3 parts across the front wall. My HT (a 1800 cubic foot sealed room) had some pretty bad room modes that I couldn't completely fix with treatments. Careful placement of two subs were able to (mostly) remove them.
