[QUOTE="mikechec9, post: 873022, member: 560462"] as a caveat to what jmac was saying, sensitivity deals with how "sensitive" a driver is to power, i.e., how responsive a sub is to a given number of watts. generally, the higher the sensitivity, the fewer watts required to make the driver respond. the reason that sealed enclosures don't require a ss filter is because the air inside the box acts as a "suspension" for the sub, preventing it from bottoming out and damaging. your x-over should be set wherever it sounds best to you (within the capabilities of the driver). i've seen subs crossed at 80hz on down to 31hz. just depends on what frequencies you want to hear reproduced from your sub and which ones you don't.
