Anonymous | Well, if they tell you how many dbs it will hit than that is what to look for,IMO.The more db it will hit the harder the sub will thump.But if it doesn't tell you the db than you can look at the watts,usualy the more watts it holds the harder the sub will thump. |

Anonymous | What I meant was that if you have a sub that holds 1000 watts rms it will hit harder than a sub with 100 watts rms.I know that is not always the case but most of the time it is. |
