[QUOTE="Joel114, post: 8659072, member: 675734"] I am thinking I am going to get a new HU and speakers and wait on the amp. Would I want to get as high of a sensitivity as possible if the HU only puts out 22 watts rms and not care about the watts as long as it is in the operating range of the speaker since sensitivity is the dB's at 1 watt and 1 meter and goes up by 3 dB every time the watts are doubled. Wouldn't that mean the highest sensitivity speaker would be the loudest at 22 watts rms even if one speaker 90 dB and 45 watts rms and another is 93 dB 100 watts rms the 100 watt speaker would be louder. Am I right or do have this all confused? [/QUOTE]
