Good One Santy
Happy to See my Rythmik Audio FV15HP in the extreme category and some Highest recorded values at certain frequencies.
No Upgrade itch for some time .. Probably just add the second one to complete the setup

The data presented there is taken from Josh's testing, the entirety of which can be viewed on his website. Josh is very knowledgeable and if one likes subs they really should look at the data he posts.
Data-Bass
One should be careful when interpreting the data on there, it is easy to look at the CEA numbers and assume one is better than the other. The CEA testing uses "bursts" at 2 meters ground plane. For passive systems Josh uses a K10 and in typical use one does not usually apply such power into their systems. If you honestly have that much power on tap I recommend using the long term sweep as a more accurate guideline, using a bridged K10 into most of these systems for actual use will likely result in damage. Josh knows what he is doing so is able to walk the fine line between getting the most out of them without damaging them. Take a gander at the impedance, voltage applied and distortion sweeps as well to better understand what the system is doing.

Yes I would have liked to have Sunfire in it.
That is one of the best subs in the world, no doubt about it.
True, his website is a great resource on subwoofer analysis. I did study his measurements & feedback before I bought my sub.
