[QUOTE="blazian87, post: 8290601, member: 574798"] I think it really depends whether or not you'll get that gain on the meter. You'll gain more like 1-3 db at most for adding another sub. One sub in a large ported box can sound louder than 2 subs but 2 subs in a large ideal ported box will be even louder. I personally think it's a different "feeling" having 1 sub compared to 2 or more. You really have an advantage with more cone area because it's not working as hard as 1 sub to get the same volume. Different boxes and different cars will give you different peaks so it can louder at one frequency, and quieter on another. More subs will sound louder at lower volumes compared to the 1 sub. There's a possibility though that if you build one really good box that takes up a lot of space, it can be pretty **** loud and might still achieve what you're looking for. [/QUOTE]
