Well, everytime you double output you gain 3db...so if you went from 2000-3200 you would gain about...1.5 Db or so...you would NOT notice the difference as you need about 3db to actually be able to hear the difference.
Nah. 10 dB is roughly the percieved doubled loudness..
1 dB is a small, noticeable difference. You'd actually gain about 2 dB (as it's a non-linear scale, getting harder and harder to increase.. i.e. 150% of the power wont = 1.5dB, but closer to 2, and the last 50% of the extra power when doubling power goes mostly to the final dB)
+6 to +10dB is twice the audible volume, and ten times the actual amount of power, all else being equal.
+3dB is double the power, and going from 2Kw to 3.2Kw is roughly a 50% increase in power, so you're looking at a difference of about 1 to 2 decibels in peak output.
You'll hear a bit of a difference but nothing drastic. Remember you'll rarely if ever use the full power of either amplifier though since you probably don't use full volume on the stereo, and music by nature is dynamic, not a signal tone steady output of constant amplitude.
you'd get slightly more output at the same volume levels.

Because the 2000w amp is $400 and the 3200w amp is $800 so the extra $400 i will not hear a difference?

Hey what kind of numbers do you think i could hit with 2 15" RE SE in a right size ported box with full rms watts?

General statements Double the cone = +3db Double the power = +3db 10db = twice as loud since it's all logarithmic, you get diminishing returns. Double the power + double the sub get you less than double the loudness Also if you went separate amps and subs, you spent double the money
Polo..
