is this a good idea

im currently running 2 12 inch orion h2s with a wcc 5000 watts max amp
if I added another amp and 2 subs would that make me a whole lot louder
and is it a good idea ?

Yes with the correct enclosure it will be a lot louder.

It's up to you if it's a good idea or not but you'll need enough space to fit the enclosure and an electrical system strong enough to handle the 600a+ that two of those amps will pull.
An easier way to get louder might be to swap out the 12's for a pair of 15's instead.

Back up the bus. Does the trunk actually have room to properly fit all 4 subs and the proper box for them? What kind of box are the subs in now. It may just be a change to your existing box that you require.
