Ironically, I wondered about that too, but then like you said, checked the 10TW3 power handling, saw it to be right in that spot, and for some reason, I was thinking it was a 6db gain by going with a pair of subs, so by cutting power to each, but adding the second, thought you were about right with the possible 3db increase.
Re: New sub or no new sub....
3db for double power, 3db for adding a second, so only 3db for a second....however, I will be able to get more power out of two since my amp is not turned up all the way.. Right now I think I am only sending like 400w-450w to the 10 tw3. So there is an additional 100-150w on the table which would help too.

I also see arc audio has a shallow. Looks similar to the illusion audio c12 with the motor on the top
The sw 12

Re: New sub or no new sub....
I have narrowed it to the SWR-T12 or the TW3 12"
Can someone model these for me compared to the 10" tw3?

This has noticeable "output" increase from a 10 TW !
Re: New sub or no new sub....
I obviously wasn't happy with my sub output. I had it originally in the middle seat area up firing.
I was trying various locations to see if they made a difference. By Ear, passenger side was the best and down firing seemed better but I wasn't 100% sure. So, I decided to take some measurements and find out.
Here are those measurements. If you have a single sub and a f150 crew cab, definitely place it on the passenger side and down firing if you can! DO NOT PLACE IT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE!!!!!
This is all 6 different possibilities:

This is my before (center up firing) to my now (passenger side down firing). Gained 3-4db which is equivalent to doubling the power or adding a second speaker (not both)

This is passenger side up vs. down
