Wich sub would you pick? I have narrowed it down between a jl audio 8w7 or a Re-i 8. Here are the specs on the dual 4 ohm re sub. I don't know what all of the specs mean,

T/S Parameters

Dual 4

Qts: 0.280

Qes: 0.316

Qms: 2.515

Fs: 28.9 Hz

Re: 7.4

Ls: 2.961 mH

Lp: 4.383 mH

Rp: 4.777

Dia:

(% shift) 160 m

47.9 %

Vas: 21.98 L

Mms: 77.97 g

Cms: 387.1 u

Bl: 18.24 T*m

n0: 162.7 m

SPL: 84.11 dB

Sd: 0.020 m^2

RMS: 300 watts

Xmax: 18.3 mm

Here are the jl 8w7 specs,

8W7 DRIVER SPECIFICATIONS

8W7-3

Free Air Resonance (Fs): 35.2 Hz

Electrical “Q” (Qes): 0.654

Mechanical “Q” (Qms): 9.50

Total Speaker “Q” (Qts): 0.612

Equivalent Compliance (Vas): 0.61 cu. ft. / 17.4 liters

One-Way, Linear Excursion (Xmax)*: 0.75 in. / 19 mm

Reference Efficiency (no): 0.112%

Efficiency (1W/1m)**: 82.7 dB SPL

Effective Piston Area (Sd): 38 sq. in. / 0.0245 sq. m.

DC Resistance (Re): 2.78

Nominal Impedance (Znom): 3 ohm

Thermal Power Handling (Pt): 300W
