lol one thing after another

SPL - Sound pressure levels

Basically how loud you car goes, higher db, louder the system.

for every 3dB gain the loudness has doubled.

so 89 dB is twice 86 dB

not so, its a sliding scale. At about 140dB, 3 dB increase is double in volume, but at 177dB, 0.2dB is double in volume. Understand?

trying to find a graph at the moment. It is for this reason, new world records go up 0.1dB at a time. Its so hard to get that extra something from a sound system.

Isnt it true that above a certain db(maybe 140 i think i heard) you have to double the amount of power in the system to get like 1 more bd of some quite small gain anyway???

thats wot i mean by it being on a sliding scale, like i said, at about 140dB, a 3dB increase is a double in volume or double in power. Beyond that, it starts getting a little more tricky.

Kris, couldnt find any graphs.
