Is Bass Non-Directional In A Two-Channel Rig?

.
If so, if you are using a subwoofer(s) to augment your main speakers, could you put your sub(s) to the rear of your seating position?

A friend of mine came over to hear the subwoofer and assumed that he was hearing the "before" since he didn't see the subwoofer. He was, however, wondering why I need a subwoofer based on what he was hearing. It's now next to the right channel speaker because the wireless connection didn't play well with my wireless printer or internet connection. I believe that they have done studies showing that people can't pinpoint a direction below 80 Hz.
