Assuming you mean sensitivity not efficiency, unless you're worried the sub will use too much electricity lol.If purchasing a "powered" sub, or one which will have its own amp with gain controls the sensitivity is a none issue. I've run subs with 84db speakers, and the same sub again with 98db speakers, that's what the adjustable gain is for, to balance the subs output with the mains. And I've never had my subs gain anywhere near halfway with any setup. If you do its more than likely you have it set too high.

Yes King of course I'm referring to the sub's sensitivity. I called it efficiency just to follow along with the naming convention of this forum, i.e., High Efficiency Speaker Asylum! Having used high-sensitivity, fullrange drivers in back-loaded horns for about 8 years now, I know the difference between a speakers sensitivity and efficiency. But thanks for the check! :> ) My speakers are 105 dB sensitive, but after reading what you. Rod and some others have posted I'm feeling better about finding a good sub to work with my Beauhorn Virtuoso speakers...
