Q: What does a speaker's sensitivity rating tell me, and why is it important?
A: A speaker's sensitivity rating (sometimes called efficiency) tells you how effectively the speaker converts power into sound. The higher the number, the more efficient the speaker, and the louder the sound it creates with a given input signal.

An efficient speaker helps you maximize your available wattage. Believe it or not, a 3 dB increase in speaker sensitivity produces the same audible increase in volume as doubling your amplifier power. So when you're shopping for speakers, it always pays to check the sensitivity spec — especially if you have a lower-powered receiver or amp.

It's a common myth that larger speakers require tons of power and smaller speakers can get by with minimal wattage. In fact, the reverse may be true — some of the smallest speakers we sell are actually pretty power hungry, while larger speakers can be quite efficient.

EDITED

For a sub it really doesn't tell you much of anything, though.

it tell's you how much you can tell it off before it start crying. like the sony sub has a sensitivity of 100 so it cries easy and blows even easier

I know what the sensitivity is but what should I set mine too?

Im running a 500/1v2 pushing a 12w6v2. Right now its at like 3/4 full so what ever that is. I had it on a song that had a steady beat and it kept getting louder and louder of course but I didnt want to go too far b/c I didnt know if it would hurt it.

you're probably thinking of amp sensitivity, or some shit.
