is 1 watt allways 1 watt or can it appear to be 2

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...

wow since i deff. said that they won't cancel because of different equallizer settings and frequency cut off's... and a billion people could tell me the same thin but the fact is i know that i don't have cancelation because I HAVE HEARD THE SYSTEM... and this is a different thread... u have told me nothing... go get a life... i started these threads to get answers and i get assholes like you telling me things i allready know and acting like i'm stupid for it

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.

thank you u answered my question (for everyone else)... was it that hard?

1 JL audio watt = 1000 real watts

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.

u answered my question too thanx

JL is the best brand ever //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif a JL500/1 has more power then a nuclear power plant...

BTW hi neighbor

yeah how bout that? lol gotta love it here right? sometimes it is so hard to get a question answered

 

[Savstyle 10+ year member]

this guy for real? or joking?

lawl at jl putting out 185% of rated power, or 145 or whatever u said. I hope you stick around, i havent posts this funny since profilepower

There is a lot more aspects than just watts

1 watt = 1 watt, yes, but also, you have different amount of THD in different amps too, don't forget that.

So in the same setup you try two amps measured to exactly the same watts but one has only 0.1% THD and the other has 5% THD the amp with less THD is more likely to be louder since it hasn't distorted the signal as much

Then it is also the impedance and the inductive and capacitive loads an amp gets from the speaker.

I don't know much about it, but I'm sure theres a pro here that could explain them too

Anyway, if you only measured an amp with a resistor at say 4ohm, it wouldn't feel either shifting impedance or inductance, but with a speaker it's different.

It has a moving coil. therefore there will always be a different output from every amp. No matter what you have measured with a resistor...

I hope someone can describe this part a little better, living in sweden doesn't help my crapy english

Anyway, the conclusion is that 1 watt = 1 watt, but watt quality can differ a lot, therefore, yes, theoretically you could play louder with an amp even if the other has the same amount of watt

There is a difference between a clean and clipped watt, but that is heat, not the actual unit. However, I don't believe that is the question at hand. I have to do too much searching through the urban dictionary to actually figure out exactly what you are trying to communicate.

JL > All

IIRC JL amps are highly regulated.

Id say that big 1k does 1200 tops.
