The 2245 has superior parameters for true subwoofer performance. You will need a very large box to take full advantage of it. The 2242 will give very hi power handling but is more a woofer than subwoofer. There was an article titled "Certifiable bass for the certifiable" in Audio magazine several years ago showing what duall 2235 drivers can do when each driver is in a 10 cubic foot cabinet tuned to 20 hertz. The same kind of performance is posible with the 2245 ussing a 16 cubic foot box. Properly praced and tuned, this will eat most so called subwoofers for lunch. It should only be used for about 2 octaves when used this way. When using a more conventional tuning it can be used as a wider range driver.
