If they are not active above about 80 Hz, otherwise they can attract attention to themselves. So if you're planning a 100Hz crossover, the subs should be very close to the main speakers.

My Vandersteen 2Wq subs are behind the main speakers in the back corners of a "golden trapagon" room ala George Cardas. The main speakers are well out into the room according to his "fibonacci progression" more or less, so there is about six feet between subs and mains. Please explain the need to bring the subs closer. They are in the corners at the recommendation of Richard Vandersteen. Thanks.

  they often attract attention to themselves unless they are right by the main speakers.
  
  If in the corners there is room boundary effect which increases the bass by about 3dB per octave. It may be Richard designed his subs to complement that effect. The subs I own do and so must be placed directly against the wall to work right.
