some more questions about my rockford t1000 bd and 15" kicker l'7s?

Ok so I currently have a kicker 0815L7 wired to 1 ohm on a rockford fosgate t1000bd and I have a few questions I will list
1. If i purchase another 0815L7 will it be significantly louder than the single L7 (either way its getting around 1400rms) ?
2. If i purchase another L7 is it safe to wire it to 1/2 ohm on a rockford t1000bd? Or if i wired it to 2 ohms what would be the difference from the bass from a single wired at 1 ohm to two wired at 2 ohms
3. I have a two door coupe and was wondering approximately how many db im getting with the 1 already hooked up and approx how many I could get with 2?
4. my sony cdx-fw750 user interface is reading failure. I do not have any idea why it is doing this although it will still play music but it cuts out occasionally when i hit a bump (yes, i checked the power wire to the radio)?
5.Is the current wiring setup at 1 ohm I have for the single L7 too much power for the sub that could possibly damage it?
6. If I run two 0815L7s on the rockford at 1/2 ohm how much power would each get is this sufficient? and how about at 2 ohms?

If you can answer any of these questions it would be very helpful, thank you
 
1. If you got a PAIR of L7's, the correct dual 4 ohm versions, each sub would get 500 watts. This would sound slightly similar to a single one with 1000 watts. Although there are a few other variables at play, some say a pair has a "coupling" effect that adds around 3db.

2. A 1/2 ohm load is NOT safe on your amp. This is a terrible idea. It will overheat easily, and probably go into protect or cause damage pretty easily. If you ran it at 2 ohms, it would only make around 500 watts, or whatever its rated for at 2 ohms (i think 500 watts). Which means each sub would only get 250 watts!!!!!

3. Its nearly impossible to just "guess" the SPL your system is making.. why does it matter? Find a shop with a meter and have it metered.

4. Older and or cheaper sonys were notorious for skipping.. consider an alpine or pioneer.

5. You are definetly pushing a single L7 to its limit, make sure the gain is set CORRECTLY (the gain is NOT A VOLUME KNOB). Since you are pushing it to its limits, a gain that is too high will damage it pretty easily.

6. Your fosgate would struggle to produce power at 1/2, it would not double the power, just DONT DO IT. It would run HOT, very in-efficiently, and possibly blow.
