would I get louder bass?
I have 10" 2ohm DVC Alpine Type R (300wrms) wired at 4ohm to and MRD-M605 amp(400wrms at 4ohm and 600wrms at 2ohm). I was wondering If I get the newer 4ohm DVC with 500wrms rating and wire it at 2 ohm to the same amp.
The sub is in a custom sonotube sealed enclosure which is about 0.5-0.6 cu.ft
Would it be louder and hit harder ?

Are you saying getting the exact same sub in dual 4 ohm? It would have to be a different model to have a higher RMS though... No one can predict the difference in bass by more power, I'd say it wont make a difference.

I'd look into different enclosure designs, before forking out the money for a new sub, with little to be gained.. that being said, everyone loves new equipment.

I've spent so many hours building that sonotube without having all the proper tools and it came out so nice that I don't want to part with it. I guess I'll build a new ported box when it gets warm after the winter to see if I could get it to sound a bit better.
