I have always heard and it is my personal experience that 2 subs are better than 1. The reasons are: 1. It will load the room more accurately by reducing peaks and dips. 2. There's stereo information even down in the bass range that you lose with a single sub. It adds spaciousness and soundstage depth. 3. You certainly benefit from the additional power. It allows you to run both subs at a little lower level increasing your headroom.
I assume you will add some type of filter to roll bass out of your main speakers. This allows your mains to be cleaner and increased soundstage depth, etc.
The bottom line, IMO, 2 subs make for better sound. They are some additional reasons.
