Giskard is right (was there any doubt?)

If you already have Citation 5.4's, Citation 7.4's, B380's, B460's, 4645C's, SUB1500's, etc then use 'em.
Let me comment in two parts:
1) I've got seven PT800s and three PS1400s (plus PC600). Two PT800s are stacked on two PS1400s and at the moment the line signal for both goes into the PS1400s. The other five PT800s and the PS1400 are totally independent of each other. The PT800s are crossed over in the pre/pro above 80 and the PS1400 receives the LFE signal.
2) Prior to buying the third PS1400 I had a Fosgate Audionics CSS200 THX passive sub running. It worked fine with the system, having an LE120 driver in it, but not as well as the PS1400 does. The LE14H-3 is a better, badder baby (as would be a Citation 7.4 or most other 14 or 15 inchers). Ultimately I want four PS1400s, two stacked (primarily for stereo listening) and two free to do LFE-only duty.
