Is 2 Subwoofers Better Than 1 Running Off The Same Amplifier?

They each will receive around 700wrms? Are you sure about that?

If thats the case, then I somehow feel that they will wang louder obviously, just so everyone knows, its being wired in 2ohms.
Will I get more bass in general with the second sub?

If you own a dual 4 ohm Type-R and buy another dual 4 ohm Type-R, you will wire the amp to 1 ohm, not 2. Do you own the dual 2 ohm subs now or not? Your sig says you own the dual 4 ohm and not the dual 2 ohm.

Do I have to answer the second question again?

because whenever anyone reads alpine's poorly named model number 1242d everyone thinks "D 2"...incuding myself.

me too.

if he has the D4 and gets another AND goes to a ported box, he should see a noticeable change in output.

Haha, Im sorry about that. Im still kinda almost a beginner/amatuer. But yes, they are Dual 4 Ohms, so I will be wiring it in 1 Ohms, I understand now. Because of that, does wiring it lower and lower (1 Ohms) cause the amp to be more risky of clipping and such?

You will not need to reset your gain if that's what you're asking. There is a rise in THD but it is not going to be audible. Your subs will acount for about 10% or more distortion and the difference of .7% to 1.2% will not be audible.

in my experience, with MOST woofers, not all, surface area always takes the cake.
