A watt is a watt.

Ratings vary, but a watt is still a watt.

1 watt = 1 watt

How the **** do you get 1 + 1 = 3?

so ur telling me all 1000 watt amps put out the same spl?

Every 1000 watt amp is different. Different internals and different build quality, they all dont put out EXACTLY 1000 watts.

ok this is my last post and then I'm done with you...

Ignorance: By thinking your not going to get cancellation with 1 13" driver and 4 10" drivers simply because their in seperate airspaces...sound waves dont stop at the enclosure walls dumbass. The reflection of the waves and the presence of other waves cause cancellation

Thickheaded: You were told by dozens of other people that mixing different sized drivers was ill-advised and that doing so would cause cancellation...to which you replied..."no it wont, they're in seperate airspaces"

And has been said, a watt is a measurment and doesnt change per amp; Fact. The only thing thats going to make 1000W from amp A and 1000W from amp B is mis-setting of gains, misproper installtion and psycho acoustics...

Get it? Got it? Good...

right so is the difference only that they actually put out different amounts of watts? or if you had 2 that put out the same watts but one sound lounder?

if I gave you a kicker ZX1000.1 and a JL 1000/1, and set the gains to 1000w on both of them, and put them on the same sub in the same install, they would sound damn near identical.

The only way you could have 2 that were putting out the EXACT same wattage while one being louder would be to either have a different enclosure or a different woofer, or be in a different car.

If you had the EXACT same enclosure, amp with the exact same power being produced, same sub, in the exact same airspace, you would get the same SPL. EVERYTHING has to be the exact same.

Back to your question, if you had 2 putting out the exact same wattage but one was going to a 12" woofer and one was going to a 15" woofer, obviously one would be louder.

A watt is a watt, but better amplifiers, namely ones with better internals and better build quality might have less distortion and might be more efficient, also will probably last longer.
