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?

Unless you want a real lot of bass.A lot of rock? Shaking the room with movies? Or if you want to catch the lower bass your
present speakers won't go down to,then go with one good 8" sub.With one good 8" sub,it may blend in well,and still give
you those lows you just want to hear.It all depends on what you want to do.
