[QUOTE="brian84corvette, post: 6989055, member: 586635"] if that is the case - then when you are subwoofer shopping you need to check the rating of SPL ( usualy between 85 and 98 ) the higher the reading = the louder the sub will be off less power. it is measured by a microphone infront of the sub 3 feet away and the sub playing on 1 watt of power. all subs are measured the same way - so its relatively a good acurate measurment to take to conciceration. I currently have a 18" pa woofer in my car just for kicks. its a jbl 2043g and its spl rating is in the high 90s if not the 100s and it getts insanely loud off 320w rms.... but it does not make my car feel like a 9.0 earth quake happening like my re sx 18" did on 1400w rms... lol [/QUOTE]
