Hi Frode

I personally like stereo subs. I think they sound better than a mono sub. I have stereo subs and a dedicated LFE sub that I only use for HT. As far as integration well that is still hit or miss depending on location. Depending on the room it could be easy or a real pain in the butt. With my stereo subs the mains are stacked on top. The best main placement is what is dictating my sub placement. The settings for level and crossover are very different on the two subs and are dictated by the room placement. As long as your subs have level, phase, and crossover adjustment you should be fine. My HT sub is placed where it should be and because of this it has a smooth response curve it is easy for me to integrate this sub. Before I went for stereo subs I used the HT sub and had no problem with it working with 3 different sets of mains before I settled on the ones I have now. I will email you a couple of photos to show you how I am set-up. A picture is worth a thousand words. I would try to get subs with adjustable phase not just a switch. That saved my butt. Not a must but a good idea if you can. I was trying to phase full range mains a full range center and 3 subs and the adjustable phase was a life saver on the stereo subs. Well I am glad you will have a sub lent to you as that is the only way to really see how its going to go. Have fun!!
