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

Cotjones, you are so incredibly stupid i do not know what to say right now. I mean, like i am seriously blown away. You should be proud of yourself.

Oh, and it might help to listen to peoples posts. All your doing is asking a question that you WANT to be right, but then because it is not, you argue.

 
you should just not post for the rest of the year. you can still keep coming on the boards, and feel free to read, just no typing. maybe after that you won't be such a cocky dumbass that doesn't know anything.

 
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
helpfull thank you
 
mabe use a little bit of common sence and at least try to understand my question before u try and flame it.
you phrased the question like a tard ***...it made 0 sense. If you want to know whether one amp can push more power than another amp with the same rating, the answer is yes, because ratings are not 100% accurate and often exxagerate, but 1 watt is always 1 watt you Rtard

nope not my question... my question is basically "is wattage only factor in spl output" -tard ***

 
is a watt just a wat? can an amp for example jl audio... produce more sound pressure just from equalizers and boosts, than say a sound stream or kicker or any other brand.... is a wat just a wat? or do other factors determin what 1000 wats sound like (ps: i do know that the rateing of 1000 wats on jl's and rockfords and some others are conservative and these amps are capable of much more than 1000 watts)
yeah here was the question now pay close attension so i don't lose ya i didn't say a wat isn't a wat infact i admited it was a possible answer i asked if there are other factors that determin how 1000 wats sound like

easy answer is yes a watt is a watt boosts and such increase or decrease the output thus the wattage. Look at it this way can one person be two? no matter how fat or how much is input (food) into that person they are still only one person

that was philosophically mindblowing.
