[QUOTE="bbeljefe, post: 8233877, member: 655960"] Changing from one sub to the next while leaving everything else the same isn't likely to provide any noticeable increase in volume. Your best bet is to up the power when you change subs. Or at least, plan to do both as you have the funds. And to clarify what was said about gain... it isn't a volume knob and the percentage you have it turned up is completely irrelevant. If you buy a 2000 watt sub and turn the gain up till it hits harder, the end result will be thermal failure of the sub. You can get by with a slight bit of clipping but by doing it that way you're riding on the ragged edge of safety for your sub. [/QUOTE]
