You really don't need another Low Voltage Box (LVB) if it's organized correctly.

In some new builds I've found the LVB looking like attached image #1.

Mine is attached image #2

I organized a Villager's box in a new build in image #3

As long as it's organized correctly the LVB that comes with your house should be large enough to do whatever a homeowner wants to put in it and for the future. Remember, many are not using cable anymore so you can also gain a lot of space by pushin the coax up into the entry hole. I don't do that since you never know when the home is sold the new owners may want to use cable so i just tie it back to make room.

Until we know what this guy is trying to do it's pointless making suggestions, in my opinion.
