[QUOTE="sundownz, post: 6845125, member: 549523"] Not necessarily true... if subwoofer A is 96 dB sensitive but has an F3 of ~67 hz... and subwoofer B is 90 dB sensistive and has an F3 of ~43 Hz... which has more output at 100 watts at 40 Hz ? The second woofer will have ~4 dB MORE output at 40 Hz with a 6 dB lower sensitivity due to more low-end extension. Just a rough example... but you get the picture. Moral of the story -- high sensitivity subs tend to have less low-end extension, especially sealed. As audioholic stated... sensitivity is typically measured well outside of the pass band of subwoofers. [/QUOTE]
