What's the purpose of having 2 different subwoofers? I'm using a HSU VTF3 MkII and it's all I need. A speaker stand would do the trick for your front mains, sand filled or lead would work, and your center channel should be just below your tv or above it, this way you'll get a better dynamics overall.

Thought someone will ask me  that question.... im only using  1 sub..its on the right side of the tv.. the other is im  using it for the meantime as a STAND for the front speakers.. im still waitng for PROPER stand that will goes with it.i also re arranged the center speaker..it now sits on the top of the tv monitor.
