While technically correct, it rarely works that way. I went from a single
Kicker S12L5 with 500 watts on it to a pair of older RF DVC12s with the same
500 wats on the pair (250 each) and it's WAY louder. I haven't measured it
yet, but you can easily tell the difference. According to your post the
difference should have been minimal, and probably less thanthat since the L5
had about 20% more cone area than a single DVC12.
Basically I'm saying two will be a lot better than one in every way.

Adding a second sub will do a lot more for you that changing your sub or
getting a bigger amp will. Even without adding more power it will get
considerably louder. I replaced the S12L5 in my wife's car because I
killed
it for the second tim eand put in a pair of older RF DVC12s and it's
louder
and better sounding.

Given that adding a second sub getting the same exact power as the
original
sub, you will see a 3 decibel gain. I don't believe that adding a second
sub
while halving the input of both will show much of a gain. In other words,
2
subs each getting 75 watts each is not going to be significantly better
than 1
sub getting 150 watts. Any thoughs?
