The atomic APXX 18 is like 98 or something.. the Holy S is almost 105. Is there one thats higher? Gonna need to take at least 25k for 3 seconds.

Sensitivity numbers are the second-most lied about statistics on a sub (after power ratings) because they are all measured in different ways.

The Atomic APXX18 is one of the most efficient subs around if I remember right. I would say the Holee S is pretty lies. Keep in mind that the DD subs that are setting world records are only rated at something like 88dB/1w/1m.

Also consider that a low power handling sub is naturally going to have very high sensitivity, due to lightweight cones, soft spiders and lightweight coils - and vice-versa with an SPL sub.

When you're throwing 25kw at it I don't think sensitivity will matter much, box design plays a far bigger part.

Whatever you get you'll have to pay extra for custom coils to get quads... even with Atomic there's a surcharge...

Options...

Atomic APXX18

DD 9918

DD 9918Z (If you can get your mits on one)

Cactus Mark2 (mark3 on the way?) 18"

DC Level 5 18" (Might wanna check with Rusty?)

Fi BTL 18" (Have to ask about Quad Coil)

Hmmm what else would I rate to take 25kw in a burp? I would have to have a think about it, I'll edit this if I think of any more.

Not a woofer out there that will take that kind of power mechanically...i'd be willing to bet you actually don't have anywhere near that much power on tap :).

Keep power compression in mind..
