Hello forum!
through basics and formuals i am wondering this:
I´m connecting 4 outdoor speakers of 8 ohms in parallel to an amplifier with 4-16 range. This is a 35W RMS per channel multizone amplifier.
I have called the manufacturer of the speakers and the amplifier to take some advice and considerations for a Terrace audio design.
He told me i´m insane to pretend a good intensity audio level with a 35W amplifier. He recomends me a 100W for this kind of applications. My doubt is this:
My speaker sensibility is 89DB/1W/1m.
So if my amplifier output is 35W then,
10xlog(35)=15.44
So the spl at 1m with that speaker should be: 89+15.44= 109 DB
I THINK THAT´S LOOOOUD! Why this guy told me that i wouldn´t have a decent volume level.
Am i right?
