Glad to hear you're still with us. Take it easy for a while. Pneumonia is nothing to fool around with. In the end it is what most people die from.

don't we want the chart with the "analog OUTPUT signals". I'm relatively new to this HT stuff, but i knows the difference between an input and an output.

Mine go through the ceiling above the ground level family room HT and through the floor joists in the basement 2 channel room. Is that elevated enough?

I don't know anything....but isn't the passive radiator a type of port? I do know my third cherry RSW-15 is in the back of the Subaru ready to go home with me tonight . Thanks Shodrewken.

How high in frequency can your bass bins go?

The following assumes your 2 watt amplifier has a maximum RMS output (unclipped, undistorted) of 2 watts. It also recognizes that with KHorns at 1 watt it is already LOUD: You are listening to a 2 watt amplifier at 1 watt average....then a 3 db peak comes along and your amplifier puts out 2 watts for the duration of the peak. And a 3 db increase of sound intensity has you say ( subjectively) 'Oh it got a little louder there for a second'. Now you are listening to a 2 watt amplifier at 1 watt average....then a 10 dB peak comes along and your amplifier attempts to put out 10 watts and clips the waveform. Your amplifier ran out of gas. You say something like 'well that sounded a little rough perhaps I better turn it down a bit'. To have 10 db of headroom above 1 watt you need a 10 watt amplifier. I do not understand where you get "so to get the extra 3 db for our 10 db swing", to get a 10 dB swing you need 10 dB.

Yes the table claimed "reverberant field" not an anechoic chamber.

BTW the answer to the topic of this post is: "all of 'em".

"I would not want to be a member of any group that would have me as a member" -- Groucho Marx All kidding aside, Pete that looks spectacular. Awesome job!

yea but you live for da bass IB man

I want the signal loud enough that I don't hear the noise

Badges! Badges! We don't need to show you any stinking badges Oops I see one has a badge.

And yet this is still not even 3 db of "headroom"

I was not going to bring this up but since FJD did: Most would say an increase of sound intensity of 10 dB is "yea that's twice as loud" but it is subjective like FJD stated.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. That's not the right answer?

Still don't know what I got wrong, but its OK. I think were just looking at it differently.

Fjd, All I was trying to say is if you play your KHorns at 2 watts (loud) and you want to be able to handle 10dB peaks over this(very loud) you need 20 watts. And that would be 20 watts of unadulterated, unclipped RMS power.

.....my friend, you poor old sod you see its only me. Oops wrong album

What'd i get wrong?

I'm pretty sure PWK always referred to RMS values. After all he was an electrical engineer before he invented the KHorn. All this "peak music power" and "peak power" is a bunch of fluff.

You're right, I forgot those existed .

ok I'm really old but i was referring to something like this i remember from the old days

Motor oil is motor oil.

Concerning the yard sign a few posts back...........the universe is laughing at us.

10 db peaks you say over average? Just remember 10 db = 10X the power. 1 Watt + 10dB = 10 Watts 10 Watts + 10 dB = 100 Watts 50 Watts + 10 dB = 500 Watts etc.....etc......
