DAMPING FACTOR: the higher the DF the better, it will help pervent hangover.

hangover is when the subs cone moves up and comes back down but the cone will vibrate tell it reaches full rest. (not good for SQ)

this can make the sound of the sub sound booming.

so anything around 150 is good.

IMO, DF factors are useless unless you know how they came about the number. It's like power ratings in essence. There are a number of ways to test power and the same is true for the DF. Ever wonder how you can see an amp with a damping factor of 80, then a similar one of 1000? How can there be such a large difference? Rating games. Who does it properly? Who does it correctly? In fact, what IS the correct way to determine this spec? I'm sure there are many arguments for this.
