impossible to say but with the rockfords you shoud be getting 3500-4000w assuming you have the proper electrical. id say it should be noticable by ear unless it is already 150db+. what subs btw?

Rockford amps are expensive but easily do more than rated

I agree but kicker is underrated too 3000 from the kicker and 4000 from the two rockfords since u don't have a complete doubling of power u won't notice a 1000 watt change humans hear in 3 db increments by rule of thumb every doubling of power results in a 3 db increase that's why someone with 6 12s could hit a 153 and someone with 12 12s and doubling of wattage would only hit a 156

Im running 2 18 dc xl woofers and i belive with the kicker 2500 it was somewhere in the 147's range but thats at 35hz so I should be right at like a 148-149ish db with the rockfords and yes I have very good electrical dc power 270 xp alt, 2 big deka's, d3400 up front, and big 3 done......voltage only droped to 14.1 with the kicker 2500 which we all know is a power hungry amp.

Any difference you notice will be due to psychoacustics or the amplifier's processing and not total power output.

Those Kickers are not that power hungry. The RFs are not any more effeceint. If you are going to swap out amps i would go bigger then that. Like 2 SAZ-2500s. Strap them at 2ohms.

only real thing that made me say u might notice a difference is the constant power of the new rockford amps which give u more power at frequencies where box rise would normally diminish power on the kicker. its a really cool technology for music and it can be helpful in comp.
