[QUOTE="defiance, post: 288350, member: 549442"] Think of it this way. Basically, all any speaker-driving device does is supply power to a speaker in a particular waveform. The only difference between a 25w source and a 250w source is the voltage that it can sustain (I know wattage is what's being measured, but if the impedence is given, the voltage being applied actually controls the wattage, since amperage is a function of voltage and resistance, and wattage is a function of amperage and voltage - thus, sustainable voltage is the controlling variable). Now that this is established, would you hook a 9v and an AA battery up to the same motor? The 9v would bleed power into the aa, and other such nastiness. Now, lets' say that the 9v and AA batteries are both complex electronic components... Ya see what I'm getting at? Nastiness will ensue, no matter how you figure it. [/QUOTE]
