[QUOTE="Silas Pradetto, post: 33678, member: 34"] Re: Yes, it's cliche, yes it's overdiscussed, but yes, I need new subs. It doesn't matter how it gets there, just that it does get there. I'm using a 'sensitivity' spec from the manufacturer, and as you say, there is no real way to compare one to another. The Danley stuff is all rated at 2.83 volts, so I'm taking it back to a 1 watt spec, but even that is impossible since the impedance varies wildly.
