[QUOTE="GBloes, post: 8734288, member: 682063"] Thanks for breaking that down. This is something I have yet to wrap my head around; I know the <400hz rang takes a lot more power to reproduce at X SPL than 400-5khz etc. at the same SPL. How much more, that I’m fuzzy on. It’d be simple with a 400-20khz speaker but when that’s handled by 2 speakers crossed over at 5khz,... decibels of 50w @ 5-20khz isn’t the same as 50w @ <400hz. [/QUOTE]
