Adding a 2nd Sub to a 2 Channel System

I'm using a JL Audio E-110 sub in my system with Lawrence Violin SE stand mounted speakers. Since my Primaluna Integrated amp uses a dedicated mono RCA output, the speakers run full range and the sub is crossed over at 45hz per my Lawrence dealer's recommendation. Based on this configuration, is there any advantages of a 2nd sub by adding a Y connector and splitting the signal to 2 subs?

I run 2 JL E112 using their crossover between my preamp and amp. 

With that said one sub sounds terable compared to two. The room just does not balance out and my nodes were crazy. With two it sounds great. 

One of my subs was at the dealer for crossover repair (first run issue, fixed now...) and it sound so much worse than two I just stopped using it until the 2nd sub was fixed. 


 I doubt you will be able to tell the subs are running in mono. Honesty mono has some bennifits of eliminating room nodes.
