Second sub?

Hi Jeff

Not sure what you mean by a second sub. If you mean a stereo pair (which will not play stereo at those frequencies) then yes. The more loading you have the better - helps combat all those nasty resonances that all rooms have. However I have found the quality of driver is most important. If you want good clean bass the drivers must be capable of moving the air without cone break up, something not many can do. I've ended up with a pair (each in their own enclosure) of Alpine DDW -F30A car speakers and am hearing very clean bass through the main system. In the surround sub I'm using a pair KEF B139's in their own transmission line enclosures (not 100% successful so not recommended).

To summarise, get good drivers first, then double up next.

Hope this is helpful.

John
