[QUOTE="Ekeko, post: 3556508, member: 581297"] It seems to me that a PORTED v2 will play as loud/louder at it's given RMS handling (250W) vs. a SEALED v3. at it's given RMS (500W). With the v3 you do get a flatter curve, the ported v2 has a 3-4db "bump"in the 30-40HZ region... but that is how most people set their systems anyway (loudness compensation)...so it could even be a good thing, depending on your tastes. There is couple things that I don't know how to account for (the v3 has a larger piston area, for example) but I wouldn't overlook at the sensitivity reading in favor of the power handling...I am sure both play a role in your spl and the trick is to figure out which one plays a more important role in your setup. The v2s MIGHT work better with your current setup (volume and amp power/headroom*). The best way to really find out would be to call ID or run a garage experiment. And please post your findings, I am curious about this too...[IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG]:D:D ANY SOUND ENGINEERS OUT THERE TO EXPLAIN THIS BETTER? *a system that has from 1.6 to 2.5 times larger amp power than speaker power handling can sound better as long as you stay below the given rms of the speaker by using some type of limiter.
