Any speaker gets loud, if you want high fidelity sound then a

speaker
with
a
lower dB/W will usually be the better sounding one, all other

factors
being
equal,

Explain.

SQ and volume are not the same, more SPL/W will usually indicate that

the
freq response for the driver is not 'flat'.


a) this isn't always true; b) "flat" is not necessarily the same thing

as
"sounding good".

obviously you do not beleive me and I don't give a hoot, but you

may
believe
JL, they have or certainley used to have a good explanation as to

why
on
their website.

This newsgroup frequently requires that people who make assertions

back
them
up with evidence if anyone is to believe what they say. I wouldn't

expect
anyone to believe what I say if I don't provide evidence, nor should

they.


Well, we've already proven several things on that JL tutorial site

wrong,
so
it's already lost a great deal of credibility. But I'm willing to judge

it
by its merits. What article were you referring to?


IIRC http://www.jlaudio.com/tutorials/index.html

There was a long article about speaker sensitivity and box sizes.

Question how come the better quality subs have lower spl/w than

the
el
cheapo versions, ie JL, Infinity ZR- Apline, DLS, Kicker vs Pine

lower
cost
Kenwood Pioneer, Jet Sound etc....

This isn't always true. I can think of several that don't.


Please do tell.

for your last question Usd and Velodyne have high sensitivity subs, and no
better example than Strokers like 95-99 for the three models.
