[QUOTE="SPLEclipse, post: 5230613, member: 602411"] it the sub needs a lot of power to meet the mech. excursion limits, you loose efficiency. if the suspention is "loose" and you dont need a lot of power to reach the mech. excursion limits, you have to put it in a large enclosure. pick two of the three: 1) efficiency 2) power handling 3) enclosure size for optimal frequency response search for hoffmans iron law for more info. to the OP: if you have two woofers with the same box/power playing at the same tone and producing the exact same amplitude...you have two of the same sub or two subs who just happen to do that at the same frequency based on the impedence curve among other things. its kind of like comparing a 300HP honda with a 300HP mustang. yes..they will both be fast, but the mustang will have better 60' times, while the honda might have a higher trap speed. theyll both complete a quarter mile race..but the way they do it is different.
