I don't really need to get a lower frequency response... all I need is a little more power. In some movies my PDR will "bottom out"... I was thinking of getting a second one so I could lower the gain a little and "divide the load" on 2 subs.


kexodusc: 3dB, isn't like twice the "volume" so to speak?
thats incorrect. a 10db increase is twice the volume (and takes 10 times the power). a 3db increase is only a very slight volume increase (but still takes twice the power).

if you look at it backwards, if you decrease something by 10 db, it requires about 1/10 the amount of power. and if you decrease volume by 3db, the volume will only be slightly less, but only take 1/2 the power.
