[QUOTE="THATpurpleKUSH, post: 8654642, member: 615398"] The sensitivity on your precious Pioneer isn't accurately stated by Pioneer and it's in the wrong context. Pioneer quotes in car sensitivity which is always going to be higher esp if it's at 2.83v which it most likely is. This allows the marketing team to manipulate the buyer's perceptions to be more favorable of the product. The same reason why you see peak power numbers all over packaging. Actual 1w/1m sensivity of the 3003 12d4 is about 85.77db which is only average for a 12 (average is usually about 86db). 2.83v/1m sensitivity is about 93.19db. The 1w/1m figure is the most consistent and accurate figure to use when comparing to other subs. The true number ALWAYS needs to be calculated based off tsp information, either by hand or with Bass Box Pro or WinISD. You cannot rely on the sensitivity numbers that manufacturers give because 99% of the time they are lying. Sundown is one of a handful of companies that list sensitivity numbers that consistently match what BassBox Pro calculates. [/QUOTE]
