[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 573592, member: 555320"] No. The Qtc gives you an idea of the system's (the sub in the box) relative efficiency, bandwidth and frequency response (best way I can think to explain it). So Qtc changes with box. Bigger box = lower Qtc. Smaller box = High Qtc The higher the Qtc, the more "peaky" the response is, and the higher the Qtc the higher the frequencies that the peakyness occurs at (generally what gives people the idea that a sub is "punchy" is when the Qtc is such at the sub has a peak in the lower midbass or higher subbass region). Also, the higher the Qtc the less efficient the system is (the sub can handle more power mechanically), and the higher the Qtc has less low frequency extension. So, the lower the Qtc, the more efficient the system, the response becomes smoother and it has better low frequency extension. The tradeoff with a low Qtc is overall volume level (the higher Qtc setup will get louder than the lower Qtc setup) [/QUOTE]
