What is more of a question is if you don't care about high end audio, why are you in a thread for it?

Adding a second sub and placing them properly inside the room will yield improved sound quality because the second sub will help with smoothing out the frequency response over a wider listening area.
Sub frequencies are omni-directional. Adding a second sub will not yield wider, smoother dispersion. Properly implemented, you should not be able to pinpoint where the sub is located.
You just need to know your budget, what you want to achieve and how big of a sub (or subs) can you fit in your space. If you are especially handy, they don't even need to look like subs. I've seen people build it into a coffee table, ottoman and end table. You would not know there were subs in the room if you weren't told.

I had never build anything like this ever so I was new and if I can do it, anyone can. Just be patient and learn as you go. Results are amazing.

Agreed, many confuse louder as better.
Agree again. There are many factors in determining a good setup for sub(s). Whether you buy one or multiple, placement is key. Buying a sub and simply throwing it in a corner or hiding behind things is not often going to produce good results.
Saying adding a 2nd sub "will add 6dB of SPL headroom (will play louder)" and that it "will not improve the sound unless" then you agree with me and say " Agreed, many confuse louder as better"
Then a 2nd sub would yield better "sound quality" because it "will help with smoothing out the frequency response over a wider listening area." Then you say "Adding a second sub will not yield wider, smoother dispersion"
Anyways I think we're we differ is how we define "sound quality".
For me improving sound quality would be better accuracy,detail,articulation, going lower.
A 2nd sub doesn't add any of that, it just spreads(dispersion) that frequency over a wider listening area(smooths out).
The great thing is this is all subjective so there is no universal right or wrong here.
