Wishing won't help, you will have to come up with a way to change physics.
However, the slightly higher frequencies edging up into the midbass region from an explosion will allow you to identify location and if you really pay close attention or have your sub slightly under calibrated you can locate bass to a speaker as required. The problem is the LFE is usually so strong it overpowers this location and just shakes the room.
