Would the Polk PSW10 be a good match to run dual subs with my HSU VTF-1 sub? My current setup is Polk CSi5, 2 RTi8, and fxi3. My PSW10 came free with my recent order so it's no biggie if it's not a good match.

I would use the 2nd sub to run with the rear speakers to get that front and back impact.Gear: Rotel RC 1082, Rotel RSP 1068 pre/pro, Rotel RMB1077 amp, Cayin CDT 15a CD player, S301 bluray.
Speakers: Tannoy DC sensys speakers, Paradigm Servo15 Sub, Velo Spl-1500r

You really want dual subs to be at least the same tuning if not the exact same brand and model.
I would not run both of them together, or if I did, I would not expect it to sound better than just the HSU.

Surrounds.......Polk LSi7 (Gloss Black - wood sides removed and crossovers upgraded)

Amplifier.........Cinepro 3k6 (6-channel, 500wpc@4ohms) -
Sell the PSW10 and get some good speaker wire and interconnects. ITs worthless in the face of the rest of your setup.

Well, we all have to work with what we have. Running dual subs greatly increases the odds that sub wave problems will be reduced. I have been running two subs for years in various combinations.
Its a good idea, try them front and back or stacked corner loaded and see if you like it.

If you do dual subs, run matching subs for your FR FL.
