[QUOTE="bbeljefe, post: 8284713, member: 655960"] I think you may have that backwards... meaning a single 600 watt sub or two 300 watt subs. In any event, speaker sensitivity is measured in free air and with respect to subs, it is a largely irrelevant number. Once the sub is put into an enclosure, that combination becomes a system and that system will have it's own sensitivity number, which is completely different than what the sub has alone. Ergo, the box you put the sub(s) in makes an enormous amount of difference. So much so that it can even cause the sensitivity to drop over the majority of the sub bass frequency band. [/QUOTE]
