I now have two rockford fosgate r2sd2-10 on a kicker cx600.1 in my 86 chevy pickup I have room for another one of these setups. (Totaling 4 subs) will the extra cone space help the sound carry further? Also should I use two amps or a four channel amp?

"Carry further?" What are you trying to accomplish?

If I can hear it two cars back now, would I hear four cars back if I added two more subs?

Theoretically it will be 6dB louder.

Double the cone area 3 dB increase. Double the power 3 dB increase.

No one can answer that question. But like has been said, it will be +6db. +10db = twice as loud
