Damping Factor

Damping factor
The ability of an amplifier to control the movement of a subwoofer — the higher the damping factor, the greater the accuracy. Damping factor is calculated by dividing the subwoofer impedance by the output impedance of the amplifier. An amplifier's damping factor will decrease as the sub's impedance decreases — that's why an amp running at 4 ohms will provide tighter bass than at 2 ohms. This spec is not always given for all amplifiers.

Down Factor

When shooting down in NHL 2007 for X-Box 360, often when trying to shoot the player would dump the puck into the corner or just hold onto the puck to long.

I will never tie this game until the third period because of the down factor. I hate shooting down.
