[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 7597042, member: 576029"] THat is not the way sound works. Sound pressure adds logarithmically. The stronger subs can even outpower the weaker ones, working against them. as you add more subs they are all working against each other to pressurize the cabin. The problem is worse if they share the same airspace. If you are building two separate boxes then you are certainly welcome to try. Humans are terrible instruments for judging how loud something is, or comparing loudness in A/B comparisons. But if you could access a meter, even one with just C-weighting, you can see for yourself. The other thing working against you is voltage drop. The additional amp will rob power from the first in the form of voltage drop. As supply voltage drops, so does output power. I've been there bro, in HS we would add more subs and more amps, sometimes mix-n-match of whatever we had on hand. In the end, the better systems are usually the simplest. [/QUOTE]
