Hi, I have some alpine spr-136a 2-way component speakers along with a stereo that outputs 14w rms. The woofers are so quiet that you have to put your ear up to them to confirm that they are on when 75% max volume. I looked up the sensitivity of the alpines to find that they are 85db sensitivity. Could the power output of my stereo be the reason? If I hook up other speakers with 89db sensitivity, they work pretty normally, although not deafeningly loud. Is the stereo output my problem, and what stereo power output would make the alpines perform?
