SSA Icon, Mach5 IXL come immediately to mind. Neither need near their rated power to provide good output.

Why do you feel the need to bump the thread when it's still within the top 4 in the forum?

If you're looking for an SPL sub, by most all accounts the Sundown Nightshades make the best use of limited power to get loud.

Peerless XXLS 12" Autosound.

Like 95 db 1w/1m, plus high Xmax and extremely linear motor topology and low inductance. Model it up sometime, you will be impressed.

Most of your system efficiency will come from the enclosure design. You have plenty of top-quality spl drivers to chose from.
