[QUOTE="Boyd Williamson, post: 203410, member: 10607"] Without knowing what your subs are, it's hard to tell, but I would also carefully consider whether you need more power, or more subs? Doubling your sub stack will give you +6db's (assuming enough amplifier capability to run them all at the current power level). Doubling wattage to your existing subs would only give you 3db's, less power compression (which starts to add up quickly, and could swallow up 2 of those db's!) and increase the odds of burning out drivers. Even running a little bit under powered, you'll likely get a better result with more subs - higher sensitivity, less power compression, less distortion, more displacement etc. You can also gain a few free db's via placement ie; grouped subs for coupling, and boundary loading. Well worth exploring, as it won't cost anything more than a little bit of your time to try it out. [/QUOTE]
