Cerwin Vega PD-9 Spec. Ed.

William Grow New member Username: Wonka001 Post Number: 1 Registered: Apr-06	Posted on Monday, April 10, 2006 - 03:15 GMT I've got a set of PD-9 Special Edition, someone's asking me the wattage on them, does anyone know what it might be? I looked all over the cabinets and have not found anything that might tell me. I have pictures of them, but not tonight, anyone with some info, would be nice to know.

Jan Vigne Gold Member Username: Jan_b_vigne Dallas, TX Post Number: 8239 Registered: May-04	Posted on Tuesday, April 11, 2006 - 17:48 GMT Just to further clarify, only speakers with a voice coil moving within a magnetic gap have any "watts" whatsoever. So not all speakers have watts. Not that it matters to the discussion.

Now I'm hungry (steak and merlot, maybe). Jan, Sorry, I wasn't trying to be picky, just trying to clarify so those with less technical background won't misunderstand. Now it's time to go home and listen to some music.

By the time you explain the energy developed in the voice coil and what happens to it when it leaves the voice coil and how that affects the amplifier, it is much easier to say, "speakers don't have watts".
