Given:
1) stereo amplifier with:
   a) stereo efficiency (l or r) se
   b) mono efficiency (the unit is mono-able) me
   c) stereo max rated power     sp
   d) mono max rated power       mp
   e) cleanness (possible signal to noise ratio) stereo sc
   f)                                            mono   mc
   g) input sensativity   is
 
2) bi-ampable speaker with:
   a) efficiency woofer section    ew
   b) efficiency mid-tweeter       et
 
What are the important characteristics of the SUB-WOOFER?
   a) rated power?
   b) sensitivity?
   c) efficiency?
 
As expressed in terms of the previous characteristics (se,me,sp,mp,sc,mc,ew,et)
For the sake of your arguement you may use the amp alone or in pairs,
if in pairs then either in mono or to bi-amp.
But must be stated.
 
This is an attempt to find out how to make a pre-judgement of the quality
of the SUB-WOOFER, and/or to match it and the possibly required other
amplifier to drive it.
