Subwoofer placement

There are so many different ideas and opinions on this. Corner, center between the mains, side walls.

What have some of you found works best? Sit the sub where you sit and crawl around the room looking for the spot where it sounds best? Or just stuff it in a corner?

Finally, do subs with automatic room equalization functions render placement a relative non-issue?

Revamping my room, looking for some thoughts. Thanks!

Although no one can tell you where to put your sub, and Lord knows how many times I have moved my sub here and there and back again, I like these white paper studies from Harman. They make for some interesting reading about acoustics, reproduction, speaker and sub placement.
