The Sub seems fine, for a small room. I have a 20x20 ft Home Dedicated Home Theater though.
I could easily put 500 for another sub, but is it worth it, or should I save up for a great sub around 1k?

I picked up one of these (SVS 20-39PC+) used for about your budget and it blew me away. Your system would love it...

I should add that this is strictly for Movies.

Save up for a bigger, better sub. 20x20 is a pretty big room, and you'll want a powerful subwoofer to fill it well for movies. For a room that size, you'll probably want at least an SVS PB12 Plus, eD A5-350, Epik Knight, Hsu VTF3 Mk3, or something comparable. Any of those subs would absolutely obliterate the little Polk you have now. You might want to contact the aforementioned companies and let them know your needs and budget - they'll help you choose a great subwoofer for your HT.

I think I will take your advice and save up for an Epic Tower or Castle.

Great idea! I've been running a PB10-NSD in my 11x10x8 room (very small), and I just received a second yesterday. What a difference it made! The extra headroom added dynamics and power to everything. For a room your size, I think a Tower or Castle would give you an amazing HT experience :D.

Now I know why they call LA "Shaky Town" !

Looking at the specs, that subwoofer is only listed down to 32hz, and as others have said, that is a pretty large room.
You say it "seems fine" but from those two facts, it is pretty clear you have never experienced low, powerful bass at home, and it seems like the weakest part of your system by far. Do you NEED a new sub? Of course not, but without a doubt it would really take your theater to the next level and will increase your enjoyment a great deal.
