Simple question, looking for simple answer.

In theory your rise would be split. It tends to stay the same all things kept the same. Now some anecdotal evidence. When he Orion amps were super popular the running debate was that 2 1200s were stronger than a 2500. Even though the 2500 did more power in singular testing. For example the Orion would do 2800 at 12 volts and the 1200s would do 1250 or something. Put them in the same install and the 2 1200s were louder every single time. The testing methods weren't the same and technology wasn't where it was but it always resulted in a higher score. As j look back I realize it may very well have been related to the rise being less shown to each amp

Yea, I think there is a common misconception of rise splitting with some people.

If you remain at the same load from 1 amp to multiple amps, the multiple amps would be wired lower and assuming the same final load, you would yield much greater power. Also, some amps do higher power (don't suffer steep power decrease with rising impedence) at higher loads, and from what I have generally seen, bigger amps suffer more than smaller amps.

If you have 1 5k @ 1 ohm rising to 2 ohms and doing say 2400w for example.

Then you have 2 2k's @ .5 ea (1 ohm total still), rising to 1 ohm each doing say 3800w for example.

In the other case...

If you have 1 5k @ 1 ohm rising to 2 ohms doing 2400w.

If you have 2 2ks @ 1 ohm each (2 ohm total) rising to 4 ohm (same x2 multiplier of rise), you would still probably get 2500w or so from "4kw" worth of amp.

The second case might not even be relevant because with all other variables, starting at a higher load would generally mean different coils with different T/S and probably a different amount of rise.
