JL Audio 2nd sub - mix match F112 and F113?

I am running a JL Audio F113 in my HT room with great results since 2008. I also have JL Audio 4ch and 13 inch sub in my VW Tiguan, so I'm sold on their sub sound and power. I am one to balance the sound out naturally, not crank the sub beyond what is musically balanced.

I keep hearing that you really need a second sub to fill out the room. I would be looking most likely on the used market and the F112 is commonly listed secondhand but not the F113. This room is 19 by 18, not ideal like my 2 channel room but it works and sounds good.

Would it be problematic to have an F112 and an F113 in the same room? It is a mono signal isn't it. Or can things be maintained in stereo

I know probably an issue, guess I should just be patient and wait to snag another F113.

thanks

Hi Audiotomb, I was advised to use matching subs when I spoke with one of JL Audio's techs. I'm using F110s and running them in stereo, using the the second set of RCA outputs on my pre. The addition of the second sub has made a big difference. The room boundaries have disappeared, the sound stage is deeper and bass is smoother, better balanced and more articulate.
