Like I said, I'm just putting it up for discussion. That was how my little brain understood the situation lol. I definately don't know more than you do on this, I just started researching crossovers and drivers when I started that crossovers thread, so I'm up for learning or trying anything!
I highly appreciate the effort to helping us out Jonathan, and thanks Airforce for throwing ideas around with me!
(Edit: I dunno how you meant the quote of the "Sensitivity means nothing", but I didn't post that one, I attempted to refute it by giving the standard defintion of sensitivity.)

That was written by someone else. I was just lumping everything together since it really is all related. I've only been researching it seriously myself for the past week or so. I didn't realize it was going to be so involved, but it turns out, there's way more to it than one would suspect.

Ohhh alright. Yea, myself included. It seems to me like you're taking a guess when you get 2 drivers, unless you have test equipment and know what to look for in the tests.

I thought I was doing good by checking out their response graphs and sticking with reputable brands. Right now I have two pair of focal 6.5" mids and a pair of DLS tweets. That's all for my doors. I'm still undecided on subs and amps. I'm starting to sway toward the JL amps. Subs I just can't decide. Dayton MkIIIs look good, but Bill is trying to talk me out of them. lol. I'm not in a hurry to decide. I've got a couple months at least before I'll buy anything. I may just keep my first run solo barics until they die on me. Hell, for now, I may just keep running my PG amp too. At some point I'll need to replace it all, but it's still working so maybe I just need to keep using it a few more months.

lol, I know, I know. I'm torn apart inside right now. I'm just not sure at this point. I'm going to wait and see what happens when I get home. Me and the girlfriend are still wanting to buy our 80 acres in the U.P. I have to keep that in mind too.

Hopefully that will explain why sensitivity ratings are rather useless.
