[QUOTE="1aespinoza, post: 8744236, member: 654802"] Disclosure, this is from experience, not science. Two subs sound deeper and louder because two cones move more air than a single sub. IMO, they also seem to sound louder because the voice coils are spread apart instead of sound emanating from a single source. Now, this is for sealed sub boxes, which is what I mostly use. Vented/ported boxes are a whole different art of which I am on the outside looking in. I just build them to manufacturer specs and call it a day. As for amplifier, just match the RMS wattage of the amp to the RMS sum of both subs. I personally enjoy subs at 600-750 watts total. So even if your subs can handle more power, there is no need to go that high. Also important is impedance. If amp is 1ohm stable, you want dual 4ohms subs. They will wire parallel to a final 1ohm impedance. [/QUOTE]
