I just added the 2nd sub to my room and set the crossover frequency to 180.

Unless your receiver is doing the crossover instead of the sub, 180hz is waaaay too high. It is likely male voices are coming from that sub, and it is extremely directional at that point. Subs should never have a crossover higher than 80hz, it gives its position away.

i haven't noticed any sound problems, but, I don't have any testing equipment besides the Audessy that is in my 605.

I do not like anything that does processing, but won't let me see the changes it makes. Also your version of audessy analyzes at 1/3 octave resolution. That will not give you enough resolution in the deep bass to deal with fine tuning of your system. When talking bass frequencies, you rarely hear problems, but you can certainly see them with a RTA.
