A day with my Sundowns

Well i finally got my SAE-1000D's hooked up. I was expecting the loudness to be a lot more noticeable, going from 1100w to 2000w but it wasn't really if at all. I don't know if i have to play with my gains a little more. But i did notice a BIG difference in SQ though. my bass sounds much cleaner, songs sound much better.

3db = 2x as loud

might have been clipping them a bit before so it sounded about as loud. now you've got headroom to play and they're getting a clean signal.

10db is twice as loud.

Noticeable difference is 3db, depinds on how sensitive your ears are.

Goes and gets book....

ANYWAY.... He could actually be experiencing more volume because of less distortion... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

it's said to be 3... but take that with a grain of salt, it's not like it's a scientifically proven formula or anything, same as the people that say twice the power = exactly 3 db

dB_SPL is log 20 while dB_Wattage is Log 10. I did find that so far... :Keeps looking:
