[QUOTE="ascendantsubs1, post: 4687203, member: 594326"] Sensitivity is a measurement of how loud a speaker will get with a given amount of power. If you see a speaker rated at 90dB, that means that with 1 watt of power, it will produce 90dB of output when measured from 1 meter away. A subwoofer with a high sensitivity rating will require less power to reach a high output level, compared to a sub with a lower sensitivity. Because of that, higher sensitivity is better, but it's certainly not the only factor to look at when choosing a sub. [/QUOTE]
