Smaller Speaker big punch?

Arty

So the Speaker on the right is half the size but just as loud, Volume setting on the left speaker 18/32 with 2 spekers on its amp, and the one on the right is 20/25 with sub center and 4 sorrund speakers

 

Yes ik the big 2 aren't max but still how can a a sub half the size of 2 big ones still be able to compete?bQeCs98.jpg

You cant use volume scale on two different amplifiers to compare loudness 

Also if its big speaker that does not mean it must be loud :)

i also used a decibal app idk how accurate they are but

3/4 max for 2 biggers speakers and 3/4 max for smaller sub simaler db

both at max big one wins hands down but curious though at 3/4 thier simaler

That 3/4 does not mean anything when comparing two different amps if they have different gains :)

first of all, you are comparing a loudspeaker to a subwoofer. These are two different things.

Also, it is very likely that the subwoofer is powered, because most are. This means its getting multiple times the power to create more noise.

A loud Speaker and a subwoffer are differnet? Shit lol

that enlightens a lot

(ignoreing the mid speaker Im just taking about the bass of the left one, but i get the point)

But woofer on that speaker is also powered with some kind of amplifier.

Subwoofers are designed to mainly produce bass notes. Loudspeakers usually have multiple woofers to better produce multiple frequency ranges (some even have subwoofers included).

It has a lot to do but in this case you cant know how much it affects because of 2 different amps. It would be best to use 1 amp for both speakers on same volume scale setting and than compare

so you just plug it to phone and it works??

it must have amplifier

I think you think I meant internal amplifier... Those speakers are meant for use with external amp and thats what op is using.

speaking about that 3way speaker

Yes, subwoofers are meant for low frequencies below 200Hz, and to make audible sound they require a LOT of power, usually several hundred watts, sometimes thousands.

They usually come with a built in amplifier so that you plug the sub into the wall, then plug the sound cable into the subwoofer and it amplifies it.

If you sent that much power through the large floorstanding speaker you have there it would blow instantly :P

passive means it doesnt have a built in amp, it does not mean it will work with a phone

and just fyi, phones DO have an amp, or else you would not hear anything at all

 

a subwoofer usually comes with its own amp, and this is called an "active" or "powered" subwoofer, because they almost always require more power than a standard loudspeaker

They are capable of using hundreds of watts, but very few people actually use more than 50. Thousands would be for large concert venues.

I have to disagree with that that they need several hundred watts. Yes they do if you wanna shake foundations of your house. But to shake a room you need 100W max. I am talking about real rms not what is labeled on most amps today.

But its all relative :)

you can get decent quality home theatre subwoofers that are 500-1000W and some even up to 3000W

car subwoofers are usually a few hundred to a few thousand

PA subwoofers are usually many thousands

if i plugged the speaker into my phone it would be quiet i could fall asleep, its plugged into a sperate 250 watt amp in which i plug my phone into

250watt   :)
