There is no point in doing either one of these.

A decibel, being the log of a ratio, is added to or subtracted from another decibel.

I have 15 subwoofers at 180 decibels each how loud would that be in db in case your wondering yes there is a woofer that reaches 180db its called dd 9918Z 18?

15 subwoofers would produce 15 times as much power. log1015 = 1.176; to convert that to decibels, you have to multiply it by 10, so you get an increase of 11.76 decibels, in other words, 180 + 11.76 = 191.76 decibels. Since the 180 decibels probably includes some rounding, it makes sense to round the final result, too - for example, to 192 decibels.
