New Type-R shallow sub ( ouch! )

You are correct. Data can be manipulated.

Speaker sensitivity is supposed to be 1w at 1-meter with a 1k test signal.
And of course, that would be okay if you were testing midrange speakers.

A sub does not operate at 1khz.
Usually, the sub LPF is set around 100hz. ( Well below 1k. )

Bottom line is: we look at the product. We look at the specs. We read user reviews. We look for a good deal. We buy it and hope we like it. Sometimes we do, sometimes we return it and try a different one.

It's all a game. Fun to play. Even more fun when we WIN!

I used to own a 12" sub (that weighed almost 40lbs) that could play well up to 12khz... course... it also had a Le of like 1.1mH Which is extremely low for a subwoofer with a power handling of 1600rms and 28mm 1 way linear stroke. It was of course crossed over at 60-80hz tho (depending on what door speaker I was running).

Tone generators are fun things to play with.
