Sanitarium Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 it's a measure of how loud a speaker is with a 1 watt input from 100 centimeters/1000millimters/1meter away directly in line with linear action of the speaker (speakers have a sweet spot as we all should know.)

mporettim Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 some sensitivity rating are taken at 2.83volts though which can give a bigger number then the 1 watt method. So you can't always compare 2 subs that way unless you know how the ratings were taken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
