General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Woofer fs and low frequency response

You are right to be suspicious. With a written description of flatness but no actual measurements, you are relying on someone's opinion of flat, and you don't really know what was used to provide measurements.

That subwoofer driver will run out of gas with 3-4 Watts at 25Hz and start distorting, but should be OK to go past 100dB above 55Hz. A 100W power amplifier will be enough to get you here, and a little extra won't hurt.

Then there's this little nugget:

"The Bucket Sub greatly benefits from lots of current drive so a high power class D plate amp is essential. Performance improves as current drive goes up."

So we are supposed to find a class D amp with high output impedance? Where? Why? Huh?
