The power difference is negligible (960 watts RMS compared to 1000 watts RMS).


Two Sub1s tightly coupled (stacked or side-by-side) should provide up to +6 dB<ref> +3 dB from doubling the power and +3 dB from [https://blogs.qsc.com/live-sound/what-does-subwoofers-mutual-coupling-mean/ mutual coupling]. </ref> over a single Sub1 (118 + 6 = 124). The Sub 2 is 123 dB SPL. The difference is negligible.

The Sub 2 is 123 dB SPL. The SPL performance of two Sub1s should be similar to a single Sub2.  
 


The Sub1 goes down to 40 Hz. The Sub2 goes down to 37 Hz (-3 dB). The difference is due to the larger physical volume of the Sub2 enclosure. Running two Sub1s does not change the frequency response.

; L1 Pro16
The SPL output of the L1 Pro16 is 118 db SPL (124 peak). The output is similar to the Sub1.
