I'm contemplating swapping my Four Sealed Soundstream 12's for Three Kicker L5s in a huge ported box, built to spec

in theory yes... but ive yet to see a 4 sub setup or idea that doesnt have cancellation (which they all will have some because you cant get 4 12s on the same plane) also your going to have to have them in sealed boxes and ported boxes tend to be louder so your getting to the point where 2 12s with a good ported box and good power have a much better potential to be louder then 4. But there are so many variables its hard to actually say. (ive had this argument before and everytime i could come up with something that would kill one setup vs the other so just remember its a theory)

but the theory is if you double the cone area or power you would get a 3 db increase

wattage is a measure of eletrical draw, not of how loud it is, in theory, you could have a one watt speaker that is deafening.

The efficiency would be off the chart!
