[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 2408384, member: 555320"] Just to give you a little glimmer of hope that you weren't hopelessly mislead....[I]in theory[/I], your assumption would be correct since [I]in theory[/I] doubling the power increases output by 3db. 10*log(200/1) = 23db 89.5 + 23 = 112.5db However, as the others have correctly pointed out....those numbers are purely hypothetical and not correct for "the real world" where you will have things such as power compression, mechanical limitations, etc. Theoretically you would be correct. Realistically, things just don't work out that well [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG][IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
