Re: How many watts is my sub getting
600 watts is A LOT of dB. 600 watts is VERY LITTLE dB.
Both of the above statements are correct.
What people often miss is that dB (in its simplest term-as used above) is NOT a unit of direct measure. It is a relative measure between 2 known signal levels.
If you are talking about 1 watt vs 600 watts the difference is 27dB-that is a lot.
If you are talking 1000 watts vs 600 watts, the difference is 2.2dB Not nearly as much.
You have to get used to thinking in terms of dB, NOT wattage. Wattage is just heat-like an oven.
