What kinda chart is this???

ok I was wondering if anyone has seen this before, on the chart it states that something that had a sensitivity of 87 db would take 20,000 watts to bring it to 130 dbs. Now I know that people arent running that much wattage and recieving results better than that with subs with that sensitivity i.e. kickers. so what do u think?

first of all..that chart is from 1985 i assume. back then (even in 1990-ish), the highest a person could get was about 150db (record back then) and that person had spend over 20,000 on equipements). also, look where it says:

"Amplifier power (watts/required) to produce this level in a listening room with loudspeakers of various sensitivites:"

in a room, its much harder to reach high decibels than in a..say.. sedan.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif i believe the record for the loudest home audio system is only in it's low to mid 130's
