[QUOTE="sundownz, post: 6730457, member: 549523"] SPL output 1w/1m is really not an important specification for a sub-woofer driver... a driver with a lower sensitivity tends to have MORE low-end output, actually. It comes a bit more in to play on SPL burps -- but as far as getting real SUB-BASS it's not something to really pay much attention to. As for the original topic... sure you can -- the reason most "big boy" woofers are power hogs is because that is what people WANT. They want their sub to HANDLE power... they don't ask "How can I get the loudest with the least power?" -- they ask... "Can you make me a sub to handle 5000 watts ?!" [/QUOTE]
