Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions M80 Max 400w?

jakeman: I would strongly suggest that you review your electronic math. It does NOT take a factor of 10 increase in power to increase the SPL by a factor of 2!!!!!

As for peak or transients, I have seen data that suggests that a factor of 20-25 may be required to handle the peak power requirements versus average power.

One other thing to consider is that you do NOT want your amp to clip. That COULD destroy your speakers. I didn't see that aspect mentioned on this threat, but I didn't read all the posts that closely.
