when your money runs low which would you do?

Ok I have the money to get either 2 more 15's (making a total of 6) and only one amp to push them OR, i could stay with the number of subs I have ( 4) and buy 2nd amps) (subs are kicker 15's dual 2's)

This will go in somesort of van. (havent saved the money up for it yet, buying the equipment first)

I'd love some input on this.... I always see muti sub setups with both large number of subs AND power.... would it be better to go for the 6 subs on 1 amp (amp about 2k watts) or 4 subs on 2 amps (5k watts comming from a directed 2400 or a viper 2500)

^^^ lol that was *several* setups ago lmao... (when I was running a single 18 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif )

Anyway i finally remembered the name of that software (winISD) I ploted the 6 15's on 2800 watts versus 4 15's on 4k watts ( 1 orion 2500d @ .7 ohm versus 2 viper/directed 2500 watt amps on 4 15's)

6 15's would be in 30 cubes tuned to 36 and 4 15's in 20 cubes with the same tune. based on the graph the 6 15's have a slight edge. and I mean slight.

Yea i know its software and NOT real life but it gives me something I can actually see. also with the 6 15's it's less electrical upgrades so I'd save $$ humm..
