Yes. Without a doubt. The whole reason for DBA is to smooth out room modes that are created by rooms being smaller than the lowest wave lengths. Totally stands to reason that the smaller the room the worse the modes and the more the benefit of multiple subs.
I think where people get screwed up is thinking that adding subs means more and more and more bass. This is NOT the case! Each sub that is added the volume of ALL the subs is reduced. There are more subs but each sub puts out less volume. All together they add up to the right balance. Only better. Because to get that balance with one or two subs there’s always a hump or two that you have to live with in order to not have a suckout hole or drop-off. But with multiple subs the humps are almost non-existent and there is no dropout. That’s why everyone with a DBA raves about how smooth, fast, articulate and DEEP their DBA goes.

Serious question.
Do you think a room the OP,s size of just 10x9x8 could handle a DBA or even two subs?
