Yes Micah, you continue to discuss amplification as if the maximum output capability of an amplifier had something to do with how much power is actually used, despite much info to the contrary having appeared here. At a typical comfortably loud average listening level in the mid-80s of dBs, more like 1 watt, rather than 1000, is used.

If two drivers are driven in parallel, each uses the same amount of power and since they would put out at least 3dB more sound level than a single driver(of the same sensitivity)using the same amount of power, in order to keep the same sound level the power to the parallel drivers could be reduced and they would be driven a little less hard.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.
