[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 57476, member: 30"] Re: lighten up some subs The sensitivity number does not always "apply" when you horn load a sub. There are many other things to consider. A higher sensitivity driver does not automatically mean it will be louder-in a horn. It may be louder in a front loaded situation (which is where the number comes from)-but in this case, that is not where it is being used. Look at the LAB SUB-that uses a pair of the LAB12" drivers. The drivers by themselves have a very low sensitivity (upper 80's if I remember). But when you put them in a PROPERLY designed horn (designed for those particular drivers), the sensitivity jumps WAAYY up. Like to the mid 100's. Proper horn loading can be a very good thing.
