Will Subwoofer Help?

Although
1. My speakers have dual 10" subwoofers crossing over at 180Hz;
2. Speakers have 4ohm nominal impedance and 90+ sensitivity;
3. Power amp runs 300 WPC into 4ohom load,

nevertheless I'm wondering whether one (or more) good subs, set at
80 or 100Hz, would improve low end precision by taking full responsibility
for the very bottom range.

If so, given the power amp is taking preamp's XLR output, any problem in just using the single-end
output to feed the sub?

Yes more subs will be an improvement. But not "by taking full responsibility for the very bottom range." The best way to do it is to continue to run the stereo pair full range, and add subs. That's what I did. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 It works great. 

Run the subs off the RCA. You can run 4 no problem.
