Add a subwoofer to the center channel?


I have very larger Duntech Crown Prince speakers and the best center I could find for now is a Dunlavy SC1/av which is a bookshelf.  It doesn't sound as "big" and authoritative.  I wonder if adding a small REL sub to the center would help.  

Right now, I do have them all set to "Small" so my big SVS subs should be handling the center's low octaves right?  Is this really the same thing?  Or would adding a small sub aide in bringing more weight to the center?

Thoughts?

The REL T5i is -6 db at 32 Hz. That is just barely a sub in my book but you can still improve what you are hearing. I would place them in a forward firing stereo configuration. Your crossover setting will be fairly high and you will be able to locate the subs so having them in a stereo configuration will help with imaging. Try that first, I bet it will clean things up.  
"... just figured filling out the center breadth would make the overall experience more evoking..."

I gave you a clue to do exactly that. Give it a try. Zero cost, except some time and sweat labor.
