I've been quite happy with an Odyssey AGM...

I'd shoot myself with any one of those, personally...

I do a thing or two with this...

Get drunk and short the terminals with a screwdriver.

I assume this is a ported enclosure? The sub likely is seeing an impedance close to what you mention - using the DC resistance of the coil in Ohm's Law isn't accurate if you're playing a test tone anywhere near the impedance peak of the enclosure.

With one pair of terminals on the enclosure, I'm betting he wired the coils in series for an 8 ohm combined impedance. That will be fine for that amp, but will cause you to lose about half of the power it's capable of - that 150W at 4 ohms might only be 75W at 8. He's correct in saying it'll...

No. 1) Sensitivity ratings need to be taken with a huge grain of salt. What impedance are they using? Is it specified at 1W/1m, or 2.83V at whatever distance they want? Make sure you're comparing values on the same scale. 2) Power compression. Once you put enough power into a speaker, at some...

No. Whether graphic or parametric, EQs are meant to be used on the full bandwidth before filtering and crossovers. Separate EQs start to make sense for individual left/right adjustment, though.

Inaudible and imperceptible are not the same.
