[QUOTE="JimJ, post: 6144895, member: 555251"] He does have a point on that. 10 watts could provide reference SPL levels, provided the transducer was efficient enough (in a car, pretty much limited to HLCDs). At home, even less power is needed. I've heard setups where a half watt of power was enough to be uncomfortable in the room. Saying 3kW is a "start", as someone else did, just shows that amplifier power is getting cheaper than common sense. Doesn't take more than a couple minutes of scrolling through the "why did my sub blow up" threads to see that [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
