Now this is confusing.
At some point i read that higher watts does not neccesarily signify high volume sound. An amp rated at 100w and other rated at 50w dows not mean the former is 2 times louder. Only slightly loud by 3dB which is nothing. To make the latter twice as loud, i should pump the wattage 10x.
Now there is also one thing to consider. SPL.
If i connect a lower SPL speaker to 100w amp and a higher SPL speaker to the 50w amp, the 50w amp will be actually louder than 100w.
Now you tell me, if I am designing an amp, what Wattage amp am i supposed to make. All the time i was looking looking for a 200w ic. After all this literature i went thru, I can also do with a 15w ic and connect a high SPL rating speaker to it. That will suffice?
What does the amp Watt actually tell me?
When am i suppose to use a higher or lower watt amp?
What does it mean to the battery, and speaker?
And ultimately to the listener?
And talking about speakers, i also read somewhere a high end speaker has more impedance than a low end one. Most of the ic datasheet lists for a low impedance ones' - 4ohm. All the while i thought the amp was powerful enuf to drive such speakers? So for high impedance it wont be useful?
