But for real, dbs are measured in SPL (sound pressure level) and I dont think tweets create much pressure lol.
If I am not mistaken, higher the fequency, higher the SPL. It takes much less power at higher frequencies to reach a desired level of output then it does with a higher level of power at a much set of frequencies. Why do you think a smoke detector can kill your ears and they are powered by a 9v battery, lol. Polo.
well if this is true, why don't spl competiors use a sh1t load of tweeters, to reach 180+db range, i agree with six, i don't think tweeters can get that loud.

Look at the surface area of a piezo transducer like in a smoke detector and the surface area of a 18" sub, that transducer can put out a shreak at around 120-130 dbs, imaging if it was the size of that 18" sub! If you can find a tweeter that can match the surface area of a sub and take as much power, you would be in real trouble. All sounds audible are measured by SPL, higher the frequency the higher the SPL.It will take less power to reach the same amount of decibels at a higher frequency. I would like to see 180 dbs @ 22hz, sweet spot, lol. Polo.
