[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8630253, member: 614752"] Sound intensity is a logarithmic scale. Doubling power or cone area is +3dB (assuming no losses which is optimistic). A click on a 0-35 head unit is 1.5dB. Anyway, best case scenario you get 4 clicks worth..... some of us pay extraordinary sums of money to achieve a dB gain. By my estimation a pair of 8's and a new box is not quite near the point of diminishing returns and really should require any unusual modification to the vehicle. From there when you try to double and you need 4 new subs and a much bigger box, or a much bigger amp and expensive electrical upgrades that's when you really have to start asking yourself what it's worth.... double again from there.... you see where it goes anyway. From where you're sitting I'd totally go for it. [/QUOTE]
