When will doubling the power really add 3dB?

[QUOTE="cotjones, post: 3048458, member: 573988"] i haven't even looked at anything but the original post, but imo... it's heavily install dependant but if you double the wattage you should get 50% more volume, because as the exursion gets higher, it gets harder to get higher again... it's kind of exponential, like DB's.... every time you go up a db it is 10 times harder to go up another if that doesn't make sence.... doubleing the power won't double the excursion, it takes closer to 4x the power to double the excursion, so to make that sub twice as loud, you are looking at giving it 2000 watts [/QUOTE]
