[QUOTE="yacob.naif, post: 2367296, member: 565696"] decibels ARE a measurement of sound energy, correct people refer to sound levels in recorded music as negative decibels because with any recording media there's a maximum amplitude of the recorded wave, which is referred to as 0db, and then anything less than the absolute loudest recordable amplitude is referred to by it's decreased energy, in negative decibels, any amplitude greater than 0db can't be properly recoded (on the media) or reproduced (by the ampliifer), and so the highest and lowest parts of the wave get cut off, or CLIPPED. Imagine the bouncing visualization meters on a tape deck..... You wanted to get the meters to bounce as close to 0db without going over, into the red....... and the slope is how quickly the crossover decreases throughput above or below the crossover setting with respect to frequency................. hit up google, it's hard to understand without visuals, and i'm too tired tonight to draw a picture [/QUOTE]
