you do realize what that 86dB means right? The subwoofers abilitiy to play 1000Hz at 1w at 1 meter away. Rather useless rating for subwoofers.

The only specs you should be directly concerned about are the BL, QTS, xmax, Fs. Even then, specs aren't everything.

i wan't aware it was rated at 1k specs aren't everything i know but what else do you have to go off of? and i cant imagine sensitivity is useless. and those specs the t/s parameters i don't honestly know what they say about the woofers response but i know i need them to calculate enclosure size ect.

you didn't know what the sensitivity meant yet you are so stuck on that spec.

sensitivity is more relevant when a speaker is playing in the 1khz area

well i would like the subwoofer to be efficient and that is all i have to go off of even if it is at 1khz and it doesn't directly relate to efficiency at lower frequencies.

BL = Motor force. Length of coil in the magnetic field.

xmax = point of excursion that there is 70% BL

Fs = frequency the speaker itself resonates, sorta shows how low the subwoofer can play. Although box is a large factor too.

QTS = what box a sub would prefer (<.4 leans towards ported >.4 leans towards sealed. As a general rule of thumb)

As I said before, thiele small parameters are not everything though.

edit: more knowledgeable people feel free to jump in and add/correct me
