First-Order Fourth-Order filters: Please explain

When searching for a subwoofer I see statements like:

1. active low-pass FOURTH-class filter variable from 50-150 Hz.

2. passive, speaker-level high-pass FIRST-order filter fixed at 80 Hz.

My question is whether a first-class filter is better than a fourth? Is first class as good as you can get?

A little education from someone would be appreciated.
