Wiring two subs (powered & passive)

How can I wire two subs to the same receiver? One is a Polk PSW 404 (powered) and the other is a Polk RM1000 (passive). Currenty, the PSW 404 is connected to the receiver via the LFE. Can I connect the RM1000 to the front L/R channel along with the two RM201's that are being used as my front channel speakers and set the fronts to large? Is running different type subs recommended? What is the recommended placement for optimum sound (opposite walls, same wall, etc...)? Also, can the passive sub be connected in series with the powered sub? The RM1000 is an excellent sub and I would like to include it in my set-up. Any instructions/advice would be greatly appreciated.
