Hi, I have a diy 12 inch sony xplod subwoofer which is quite good for my 14ft x 14ft room. I have a creative x-fi sound card and I run 7.1 speaker with CMSS and audio crystalizer on.
For a more cleaner range of bass I want to add a second subwoofer. Should I go for a 10 inch or another 12 inch subwoofer?

Why?
What do you wish to achieve?
I do like stereo subs, but the way you phrase it makes me wonder if you're talking about something else.

I think two subwoofers will have better frequency response. I have read 12 inch subs gives more boom and 10 inch subs give more punchy bass. So together they should cover a wider frequency and the sound should be more clear.

Try and match your drivers and their enclosures. Having them in different parts of the room will help like the aforementioned stereo arrangement.
Okay, seems you may be under the impression that bigger drivers are struggling with reproducing the higher bass frequencies.
That is pure BS, sorry. Even an 18" has no problem going up to 4-500hz, if you hear people talk about slow and fast bass it is more about the implementation than the size of the driver.
Graham is correct. Also often better to duplicate the sub you have, use some random microphone to try and measure what you have. Try and get phase and frequency issues worked out by placement and/or eq/dsp. If you got ported speakers try to plug the ports to make it a bit easier to cross over to the sub.
