[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 1423908, member: 555320"] No, I seriously wasn't kidding. It was a smartass remark, but I wasn't kidding. Horns can reach some pretty insane output levels....enough to make you deaf pretty much instantly. Back before the SPL meters had filters on them, I know a guy that metered his horns in the throat and it was around 154db. Now, you have to realize that 154db @ 1khz+ is [I]completely[/I] different than 154db in the subbass. 154db of 1khz+ would cause instant (and permanent) loss of hearing. Now, obviously the key here is understanding the difference between what the speakers are [I]capable of[/I], and what you are actually going to [I]use[/I]. When using horns that are 105db/w/m, it's only going to take a few watts to get them to loud listening levels. And this is all you will use in your system. You won't play them balls to the wall, reaching their full output capabilites. You'll only use what output you necessary. But yeah...you definitely don't want to personally experience the full output potential of HLCD's [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
