[QUOTE="Brian Murphy, post: 57232, member: 1805"] Re: A few questions on Specs and equations. Mark, thanks for the update! It makes a lot more sense. Silas, this is the part I find confusing. If 600W=27.78db and I take off 3db leaving 24.78db, converting that back to watts=300W. So are you saying you would power a UCS1 with 300 Watts RMS power? And how does this relate to Phil's suggestion of working with V_rms? [EMAIL="600W@8ohms = 69.28V_rms"]600W@8ohms = 69.28V_rms[/EMAIL], and [EMAIL="300W@8ohms"]300W@8ohms[/EMAIL] = 48.98V_rms that's a 27.8% reduction in V_rms but 50% reduction in power. If we want to keep the cabinet working close to peak efficiency (with respect to power in) that seems like a huge amount to give up. I think I'm missing something here OR the two concepts are totally different in their approach. [/QUOTE]
