Comments from my Bob Carver friend: "Looking at the specs, the eight ohm looks more appealing. Higher bl, lower fs, qts is a touch lower . The vas is showing this is made for a small box because there is a lot of stiffness in the suspension so it takes a high power amp to get things moving."...

My thoughts exactly, after spending countless hours looking all different brands of subs. It just didn't add up, that this one company had such a variance. Thanks for your input.

I'm starting to think nobody has a clue on how to answer my question. I've been told by a friend, who is friends with Bob Carver, that *it is possible* for a 8 ohm sub to have specs so different from the 4 ohm version. I just thought maybe someone could shed a different perspective.

Correct and the key word you used is *space*. I realize ported can hit low, but it takes space to achieve, plus your dealing with a -12db per octave slope. I like seats and steering wheels to shake at 15hz.

What is your definition of *low*?

Not mentioning the brand, but wondering if the following specs are plausible differences between a 4-ohm and a 8-ohm model from the same manufacture and series of subwoofer. Note: Both are single voice coil 10" subs with a 1" linear excursion. 4-ohm: Fo: 33.7 Qes: 0.64 Qms: 3.1 Qts: 0.53...
