[QUOTE="JimJ, post: 7636554, member: 555251"] A voice coil will experience power compression with absolutely no distortion in the source signal. Just physics... Not even taking power compression into account, the fact that our ears work in a logarithmic fashion means that you'll get to a point where reaching that next 3dB threshold will require more money and time than it's worth - which is a pretty good example of a plateau unless you're willing to convert your vehicle into an Extreme-class dB Drag entry [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif[/IMG] Increasing power from 1kW to 2kW is the same ratio as 5kW to 10kW, although the cost to get there certainly isn't the same.
