[QUOTE="SeanDub, post: 4607381, member: 568046"] You're going to set the 2200 for 2400 watts? Why? The difference in dBs for 200 watts at that point is minimal. Why push the amp harder than necessary? I'm not sure if this is the actual theory, but this is what I was told. It makes sense though, because this process leads to the idea that double power = 3dB increase, which is an accepted idea. New power - 2400 Old power - 2200 Divide them - 2400/2200 = 1.091 Log base 10 of that - log(1.091) = 0.038 Multiply that by 10 - 0.038*10 = 0.38 0.38 is the theoretical decibel gain from increasing from 2200 watts to 2400 watts. Not worth it straining an amp. [/QUOTE]
