Double the output is good for roughly 3db increase. Depending on install.

Doubling the output is not noticeable? This is a contradicting statement. If you double the output, it should be twice as loud...

I think you meant double the power is not noticeable? If so, then this is not true either. Doubling power is said to yeild a 3dB gain, but this is relies on countless variable, so the exact gain will depend on your install.

However, going from 300w to 1600w should give you a night and day difference. If not, something is wrong.
