Absolutely. Best results are obtained when both flanking subs and distributed multisubs are used, with the distributed subs running a summed LF signal, and the flanking subs running the same (low-passed) signal as the mains they are flanking. Some people use just one distributed (summed) subwoofer, but I prefer to use two. When you use just one distributed sub, its position is pretty important, but with two distributed subs blended with the flanking subs, it almost doesn't matter where you put them.
