[QUOTE="Jimi77, post: 8844574, member: 673702"] I'd argue power is not cheap. Most cars can handle a 1kw amp with big 3. If you want just 3 more DB - aka doubling power, that's gonna require upgrading to 0awg, a high output alt, high end battery, etc. If hit a 200wrms and 1000wrms sub with 2kwrms, here's what you're likely going to experience (assuming you're not playing test tones). The 200wrms sub will be louder until it blows and I wouldn't expect to last long. The 1kw sub may survive on a 2kw amp depending on how you use it. The 200wrms sub may or may not distort significantly depending on enclosure, music, etc, for example a 200w sub with alot of xmech in a ported enclosure may not sound that bad right up until it the VC seizes. OTOH a sub with minimal xmech is going to bottom out before you seize the VC. [/QUOTE]
