It's not overall SPL that's important. A 50w amp can get very loud, it will just sound like ass doing it. 300w would increase your headroom so that your music is as clear and dynamic no matter how loud you play it. Forget SPL. Focus on how good your music will sound.
2db of SPL worth the trouble of installing another amp?
Hey all,
I could gain an additional 2db of SPL by buying a dedicated 300-watt amp for my midbasses. I'm currently running them at 175-watts. The increase in output at BEST would be 2db and that is not taking power compression into account. My guess is that you guys would suggest nixing the idea and instead getting more efficient pro drivers.

Don't be giving me any easy excuse to add more powa. You know I'll do it.
I admitted already have a good amount of power. Any new amps would need to go in the trunk and would require a special "hide-away" install. It would be more money. I still sometimes find myself craving that extra last few bits of power when I know that amp is being pushed to it's limit on peaks. But I get the feeling it's already more SPL than I should be using for the safety of my hearing. Having fun just comes with it's price I guess.
