[QUOTE="pro-rabbit, post: 7432773, member: 551878"] The sensitivity of the subwoofer is 100% not relevant to the application at hand. The testing manner used to find such numbers does not apply to a subwoofer or its performance. You are far over reaching what you need to worry about at this stage in your build. Knowing more information is great, but when you are just starting try taking it easy and just work at it as you go. Upgrading your source unit is a must and with the added amp/sub setup you will have to see how all that reacts in your car per your tastes. You may be fine with what you have at that point. You want more mids/highs or more bass. Once you are to this point then come back to see what better options there are. I can tell you first hand that many things that are true and even the math/science behind it says its true..mean nothing once in an application. Unless you are going to compete in sound quality(which is 100% subjective to the judge...which I am one), there is not need to go to the extent being discussed. Not to mention most of it won't even be audible to 99% of the people who would hear it, including you. Lot of good/decent info, but just not relative to the situation is all. [/QUOTE]
