Sub-Amp Wiring Question - Damping Factor Vs. Power Vs. Bridged/Stereo Mode
I use 12K Behringers on 91% efficient speakers @ 8 ohms … I have seen 90-100 dB/W/Meter sensitivity, but even that 100dB is like 6% efficient.

What makes the biggest difference in sound quality?
  there could be an open forum for say, car guys. You could have a group of these car guys talking about how they reduced their best lap times by seconds while outlining exactly what they did to their vehicles to lower their best lap times. Anot... 
What makes the biggest difference in sound quality?
Interconnects, speaker cables, power cords, or fuses? I must not have good ears, because homemade interconnects seem to as good or better than most of the store bought ones I have tried. Keeping speaker cables short helps, and also keep em fat...
