[QUOTE="T3mpest, post: 8177282, member: 560148"] well the 99's are a bigger coil, so the gains from 5-7k plus what you'll gain from lack of power compression, maybe 1db. The more powerful woofer might be good for the better part of one more. I'd say 2db on a good day. That's an extra click or two on your volume knob in most cases, like others said you won't hear a huge difference, it's still just 2 12's and your only going to get so much more out of it. Cars usually do begin to lose pressure easier above 150 and that might hurt you too, as someone else mentioned, so yeah, right in the 1-2db range. If it's closer to 1, you'll barely hear much of a change, if it's closer to 2 you'll notice, but not a huge jump either way. If you up your tuning some I'm sure you could squeeze another DB closer to the peak of your car, while losing below tuning. That would be more of a personal preference thing, louder on a meter, yes, louder for real, well not really.. Depends what you want. If you can switch speakers by selling the old ones and not lose an arm and a leg, I'd go for it possibly, but if this a couple thousand extra, personally I wouldn't... At that point I'd be looking into a wall or something of that nature if I really wanted louder as your well into diminishing returns at this point. [/QUOTE]
