[QUOTE="TeoTorriatte, post: 4544307, member: 571999"] OK, do the math with me now... (new power / old power)log*10 = change in dB (before accounting for compression) (1000 / 800)log*10 = .96 dB (1000 / 900)log*10 = .46 dB So even with a 200W increase, you have less than 1 dB gain [I]at full volume[/I]. Any of those differences are going to be BARELY AUDIBLE -- especially after compression rears its ugly head. Any subwoofer is going to sound better with LESS power, not more power. If you like the way it sounds with MORE power, then you like the sound of distortion. [/QUOTE]
