[QUOTE="winkychevelle, post: 8812105, member: 611804"] No I wouldn't try and play them in a home audio environment. They aren't designed for that and don't model very well when tuned low. They are designed to be midbass not midrange drivers thus the focus on the bottom end. Sensitivity of course isn't going to be super high compared to the midbass you linked that was only rated to play down to 100hz by American bass. They weren't designed to play as low. And sensitivity doesn't really matter much when you have ample power to play with. Its 91.5db for reference. It gets plenty loud and I don't expect a single pair to produce midbass and keep up with 2 big 15s. Once you get into the higher pressure systems your subs generally overtake all your midbass anyway. My more modest systems most midbass drivers can keep up with very well and I can cross my subs lower. Generally I cross both my subs and mid at 63hz. And I still don't have a gaping hole at 63-100hz like most systems. They are still plenty loud and if I cross them at 100hz like your ab mids I can feed them alot of power safely. The 1.25inch voice coil should handle 200w just fine as long as power stays clean and it's not bottoming out from bass [/QUOTE]
