How do you set up a subwoofer properly?

Ok. this is probably a dumb question, but where should I place my subwoofer in my room. As of now I have my subwoofer under my desk and centered. The one problem I have is that I still mix in too much bass. If I stand up and move around my room I hear a drastic increase in the sub. Should I walk around my room, find where I hear the sub the most, and place it there?

msp5 / auratones / subwoofer

Okay, so after thinking and reading alot, I think I'm going to stick with my msp5s for mixing. I feel like they're accurate - the only gripe I have is low-end.

I'm adding some auratones through a haefler amp for some hi-fi (low-fi) mix-checking.

I'd also like to add a subwoofer for just checking how it sounds down there once in a while. I won't actually mix with it on.

How to connect a subwoofer if you've only got two outs

I have a pair of Genelec 1029A active monitors and am considering buying the subwoofer to go with them. But how should I connect it? I have a Behringer MX 2642A desk and an Audiowerk 2 card. At the moment the two outs from the card go into the desk group ins. How would the signal get split into the "bass" bit and the "rest"? Where do the cables go?

adding powered subwoofer to monitors...

hey I have a set of M-Audio BX5 monitors that I use 80% of the time just to listen to music. I'd like to add a powered subwoofer to give it some kick. I don't want a reference sub, and I will isolate the sub when doing any mixing anyhow. I can get a sub at wholesale from work easily, but my problem is how to interface it...
