Two subs in a small room....

I have read that two subs smooth out the bottom end and give a much better sound. But, what if you have a room that is just not big enough for two subs. Is it worth the effort to get two "small" subs or is there a special placement for just one sub besides the usually place, behind one tower. What about placing the sub right in the middle?

By the way, my system is in a 10 X 10 room and it is in a diagonal configuration if you can picture that.

10 x 10 is small but I still have two channel setup that sounds good and where I sit gives nice separation which I would think would happen if dual subs where used. Or is a sub and/or dual subs dependent on the size of the room?

Otherwise, if a 10 x 10 room is too small for dual sub, is it also too small for 2 channel? I mean am I actually listening to a mono setup because of the size of the room?

My desire is for a smoother, richer sound as opposed to "more" bottom, if that makes sense. I have one sub already and my bottom end is fine but keep hearing that two subs would give a better audio presentation. I've been thinking that the room I have my system in may be two small for two subs but maybe two "small" subs may do the trick.

I appreciate all the advice. I feel the 10x10 is small but that is what I have for now, but hope to be moving into a new house with something bigger next year, but with the economy I'm not sure. For now, I want the biggest bang for the buck with what I have.

Ok, so, if in a small room, a single subwoofer will suffice, what kind of small sub would be best? Ported? Sealed? Down-firing? And is there any sub that anyone could suggest?
