[QUOTE="codycr6, post: 2906587, member: 555443"] look for a Qts around .35-.5 and an Fs between 35-50Hz for nice sound quality. I also prefer drivers with more mechanical than electrical excursion, as it is easy to drive IB subwoofers. Here is a good link for general information: [URL="https://home.comcast.net/~infinitelybaffled/"]https://home.comcast.net/~infinitelybaffled/[/URL] Keep in mind these are mostly home projects, so we generally shoot for an even lower Fs. as we do not have as much transfer function as a vehicle. That being said, I am using Phoenix Gold Octane R's in my home theater, driven by a 350 wpc Nady amplifier, and it can get very loud at very low frequencies.
