[QUOTE="VWBobby, post: 7565906, member: 624844"] Keep_Hope_alive, I agree with much of what you said, but there are a few key points that I'd like to discuss.... all in good fun (learning experience for others) [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] Every double in power is 3db, however I definitely can tell the difference between half-volume and near full volume. This theoretical db limits to a human's perception is just that......everyone has different perception of volume levels. This also comes down to about 70-80% install. Poorly installed speakers, large cabins, or too much sound deadening can really kill a high powered set of speakers. My front speakers in my bus are wired to 2 ohms stereo, about ~125WRMS. The speakers definitely will NOT push me out of my van at near full volume. My system in my BMW is 50W per channel, at most, and definitely will push me out of the car at near full volume. Depending on installation and speaker sensitivity. A speaker with a poor 79db sensitivity (1W @ 1M) might be pushing 90db while the one up around 91DB might be pushing 105db or higher, at the same power. I still say, there are a lot of speakers, and installations especially that require higher power on X car, than it will require on Y car.
