[QUOTE="OldFartAudio, post: 8713790, member: 680592"] I am guessing at power but my xtant 3300 was powering a first gen 12w6 on the mono channel. It was rated at 180 by one at 4 ohms, I had it at 3 ohms which should have given 296 watts. It was underrated and I don’t know what it actually put out but I would guess between 350 and 400 watts maybe 🤷♂️ The highest SPL score I got was 133.1 dB. This is in a 2 ft sealed box firing to the rear of the trunk. I had no rear speakers so there were holes in the rear deck. A movie theatre averages about 85 dB and so does a gas lawnmower. If I am understanding what I am reading correctly a THX certified theatre hits 125 dB peaks. These are all just references for you. How many watts are you actually pushing? What kind of vehicle? Everything affects the sound. [/QUOTE]
