Um, it has been known since the advent of dB meters. I don't know where you're getting off saying that a speaker with a 80dB sensitivity would take over a million watts of input power to reach 140dB when the sensitivity is probably the least important parameter when deciding numbers like that. The best SPL woofers out there have incredibly low sensitivities, and while it does take a lot of power to get them moving, that is due mainly to the mechanics behind the voice coil and the need for high thermal power handling. A home audio driver with the same sensitivity would cook under a fraction of the power than the SPL woofer would because of the different parameters. Sensitivity is not related to how loud the speaker can get; it is related to how efficient the speaker is.

DID YOU READ THAT???? THE FIRST POST SAID:

So why doesn't that 100-watt amplifier always sound twice as loud? Because the acoustic decibel--the decibel (dB) being the unit of measurement used worldwide to quantify the acoustic loudness of sound--

DID HE JUST SAY ACOUSTIC LOUDNESS AS THE MEASUREMENT OF SOUND????? USED WORLDWIDE??? (ACOUSTICS?????? AND LOUDNESS) NOOOOOO WAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY.)

sorry about your D A M N luck...

the next pic i will have in this thread that has anything to do with my build will be my 12 batts,

AND MY SD16K........................................................................................

WHICH I JUST PAID FOR AND WILL GET IN 3 WEEKS W/ LIFETIME WARRENTY

I DID A 151.5 ON THE GLASS WITH 5000 WATTS

I DID A 155.2 WITH ANOTHER 5000 WATTS ON THE GLASS

this amp is rated 16000w at 12.6V, my batts will have a 15.3V reading when i burp. so this aughta be interesting with 1600AMPS being pulled! ANYONE have a fuse set up idea for 1600amps???

I WONDER WHAT I WILL HIT ON THE GLASS WITH 18000WATTS ON THOSE SUBS?

seems like your second post contradicts your first.. with "him" thinking so highly of himself.. Its definitely you.. no one cares.. I still would put my money on mlstrass to beat you in a mid size 4 door sedan..

and even if he doesn't he isn't a jackass..

but you seem like one of those people that wouldn't admit to this being your account in public..

i actually thought your comments were pretty fair, but that was just a dumb comment, dont start being a diq.

stop posting in this thread.. its ruined.. completely.. I will tell you like I told triple B.. wait til shit gets done and start a new thread.. this one is ruined..

with the comments on the termlab vs w/e you are looking for.. I guess some sort of measuring device that doesn't decipher frequency and inaccurately reads them all as one??

and then you fighting with everyone

i will!

i will also be rebuilding my subs over the winter after i blow em with the 0ne 16k i just bought. im going to take out 25 inches of port as well for just spl and put back in for daily, it aughta be fun engineering that but I'll make it work.

although i say i wont have it full volume all the time, chances are there will be those days i do. but i will also buy one more of the 16ks as well and have the two of them running to my four 18s next year.
