Why should I not use a subwoofer?

So i'm in a smal project studio, and it probably goes without saying that it's not the most sonically balanced room in the world, but I am using HR824's and i just purchased the 1280 Mackie sub that goes with it. I love the sound of those monitors and the sub sounds great with them, but I have heard/read that I shouldn't mix with the sub on unless i'm mixing 5.1 (which I am not.)

Subwoofer

as of now i have my mbox hooked into my two monitors. the speakers that come on the new imacs are just crap and so i need to get some computer speakers. my two monitors could use a sub and I'm try to figure how i can incorporate a 2.1 system with the monitors. ( just the sub). bad idea?
