[QUOTE="trumpet, post: 8225874, member: 628688"] RMS power ratings are for thermal capacity, not loudness. That means a 600W+ RMS sub is not guaranteed to sound louder than a 400W RMS sub. Put the subs in a proper ported enclosure and I guarantee you will notice louder bass. Polyfill might help the lower notes seem louder, but it's not going to give you what you want. A smaller sealed enclosure is safer if you have a lot of power available, but don't be tempted to turn the bass boost or gain up. [/QUOTE]
