Let's say you've got 2 subs that are each 300w rms and 600 max. If one subs' sensitivty is 89db and the others is 97db, what's gonna be the difference when you give each 300 watts of power? I know the 97db sub wil hit harder but how much harder?

Usually a more sensitive speaker has less travel and a lower power handling.
