I don't think you have the slightest clue of how the relation of increase in power to increase audible perception work to call this an idiot answer. If I was to increase the power of a 100w amp to 150w (50% increase) this would translate to a volume 1.75 decibels higher. This is an increase that is almost inaudible to the human ear. Your speaker will sound slightly louder and better. IT WILL NOT SOUND 50% LOUDER. This is what I meant by a 50% more power. If I would have said the sub was 50% louder which is what it seems like you though 50% more power means, this would require a lot more than a 50% increase in power.
