Your sub experience: Easy or hard?

My sub experience was very easy.  Put the 2 (custom 18") subs in the corners where they belong (MUCH easier said than done - very heavy.)  Hooked up the amps to the subs (one per sub), connected the crossover / LP filter to the amps, connected separate cables from the preamp to the crossover.  Fired up the preamp and rest of the system.  Fired up the crossover, then the amps.  Played some music with REAL bass - Saint-Saens, Ravel, Respighi, Stravinski...  Adjusted the crossover level as the music played.  All good.  Done.  

Done.

Like most anything it’s not hard if you apply the right tools in this case a sound meter or sound meter app.   

It wasn't hard at all, it was fun. I enjoyed the "subwoofer crawl",messing with the crossovers, plugging and unplugging ports.I have two HSUs and one SVS.If the HSUs ever stop working I would have all SVS.Controlling all of settings from the listening chair is wonderful.

I have two REL S/812.  The reason for two is mono block amps.  I found the setup to be quite easy and once dialied in, the improved sound is well worth it.  The only issue I have is playing the occational disk/LP that is very heavy in the low-end bass.  Then the subs are just a little too present.  But overall, they are spot on the majority of the time, and if I have to turn them down a click or two at times it no big deal.
