[QUOTE="ahole-ic, post: 6779770, member: 619324"] There are formulas to calculate sensitivity but it is always at a given frequency. Most are at 1000hz. I wrote a program to calculate it at 100hz. You can find it in the forums on [URL="http://www.eCrack.net"]eCrack.net - Car Audio News, Reviews, and Values[/URL]. It still won't help you know what the sensitivity is at 30hz etc. This is why people say "lower sensitivity is better", because it's usually at 1000hz. Well you don't want your sub ever playing 1000hz, so since it's rated well there, that's not good. That's what they mean. We are concerned with sensitivity in the sub bass region. Go give my calculator a shot and see if it helps you. [/QUOTE]
