High db sub

Why u have to laugh at people who dont know as much as u thats real cool

judge for yourself the importance of how efficient the sub you choose is going to be. Personally, I chose subs that happen to have a sens of 92db 1w/1m in my 15's and they have been very excellent subs. Having said that, sensitivity alone should not be the deciding factor in what sub(s) to use.

Realistically, most car audio subs will be anywhere from low 80's to low 90's. Always look for the 1w/1m rating...not the mis leading "2.83volts/1m" advertised these days. The amount of current in 2.83v can vary by the amount of resistance used.

So what do u base on sub on how loud its goona be?

The dB/W/M is pretty much worthless spec for

There's two ways to get high efficiency woofer, you need to sacrifice space for a huge box, or you need to sacrifice low frequency extension (and often power handling).

The type of 12 that is used in a guitar amp type cabinet may spec out 95db/w/m, but it will be worthless playing
