As you've doubtless observed. your brain uses higher frequencies to figure out where sound is coming from, and tells you the bass is coming from there too, even if the woofer is right behind you.
Size requirements depend on what you want. For big thumps nothing moves air like a big cone. If you want to enjoy low notes made by musical instruments, a smaller driver may be better, unless you need it to be plenty loud....

If he is filtering out the lowest bass frequencies to the mains and sending it strictly to the sub, it will change their character somewhat. I've found this to enhance midrange clarity noticeably. Thinking it might have something to do with reducing the effects of intermodulation at the mains woofer cones?
