[QUOTE="zako, post: 8141655, member: 629735"] It depends on the music you listen. If you listen the kind of music where most bass is coming from bass guitar and drums (say rock, jazz, etc), then maybe you will be fine with the power you have. If you listen music with more synthetic bass sound, like rap, some types of pop or dubstep, then you may not be satisfied with the output. This sort of depends on personal preferences. The DVC model does have a significantly lower sensitivity: 83.2 dB 1W/1m. That's kind of low by 12 inch subwoofer standards, you basically get the sensitivity of an average 10 sub. It shouldn't be bad IMO, specially with adequate power. Just make sure you're not clipping the signal. As another option, I'd suggest to consider Infinity Kappa 120.9w subwoofer. First, it has a switch to flip between 2ohm or 4ohm impedance, so you don't need to worry about compatibility with amplifier in your future setups. The subwoofer build looks solid, cast frame design + a unique looking woven fiber cone.
