Getting 2 subs

Got a pair of Bower 802D3 which I’m biwiring 1000 watts to each one, been through several subs, just sold my pair of JL f112, which did not give me the thunder I wanted so I’m going back to SVS , I had 2 sb2000 before, but this time I want a brand new sb 4000 and I wondering if I should have me second sub be a sb2000 or the 3000 or match what i already have which is the 4000, I want to be the one to hear and feel it in my living room, not my neighbor,

my experience with large subs is that the frequency is to low and for me to hear close up , so is it ok to get 2 different size subs to cover a wider spectrum of bass or get 2 matching subs?

Guess I missed the D3's right there.... for some reason I thought those were subs too.  :D

Is your room overly reflective?  This can create excess mid-treble energy, and overwhelm the bass.

I think you are flailing for a solution right now and we need to get you back to simple, and straightforward, though that may take some effort on your part.

What are your main speakers? How have you connected them? Is there a high pass filter in place? Have you measured your current state? How large is your room?

How about speaker placement? Try the AM Acoustics room mode simulator first. It will help you see where the lowest modes are. Keep all your speakers and your listening room out of them if possible.
