[QUOTE="UsAmpsFreak, post: 8176947, member: 658137"] This is an impossible to answer by any knowledgeable car audio enthusiast with experience. Based on going from 5k to 7k you'd hypothetically gain maybe 1 db. But that's if the car doesn't "give it up". As far as going from one woofer to another are the 99's more efficient than the 95's at 5k? If so then you will hypothetically gain more in the end. But if they aren't you might not even notice a difference. Technically speaking you have to either double your power or double your cone area to gain enough of a difference for your ear to notice (3db) but even that is NOT a signifigant volume difference. 6db is a drastic difference, 3db is just barely noticeable. Good luck. Also, do you know if the speakers will even get louder with more than 5000 watts? They may have hit their limits with the amp you already have in which case getting a bigger amp won't make them any louder. [/QUOTE]
