2b. Current is directly in relation to voltage
4. When you check the efficiency of JL audio subs, you'll see that they don't use dB/2.83V/m but dB/W/m. The numbers of a D2 compared to a D4 and compared to a D6 are quite the same. Conclusion, when you would convert the numbers to dB/2.83V/m, you'll see that they have a completely different efficiency, so actually, it are completely different subwoofers
Voltage doesn't go trough your speakers, it's on it and causes current to go trough it.
You want to compare deebeez with amount of water? Fine....
You can't compare a speaker with a waterhose, you have to compare it to a waterhose with some holes in it. The waterpressure that goes in is the voltage that your amp delivers, the water that comes out on the other end are the deebeez, the efficiency is the amount of holes in the hose...
When you have a big hose that gives you 90liters of water in one minute when you put 3 bars of waterpressure at the beginning or you take a smaller hose that also gives you 90liters of water in one minute when you put 3 bars of waterpressure at the beginning, the amount of water you're getting from the same waterpump will be the same.
But the bigger hose will have more holes in it, so you will spill more water (current from your powersystem) than with the smaller hose with less holes in it, so the pump (amplifier) has to work harder to give you the same amount of water (deebeez)...
When you have a pump that's stable enough to work hard, what would you do, put 1 big hose full of holes on it that will give you 90liters of water per minute and let the pump work at full power all the time, or put a smaller hose without holes on it that gives you the same 90 liters per minute, but makes the pump have reserve enough to add more small hole-less hoses on it that each will give 90 liters per minute with the same pressure?
When you have an amplifier that's stable enough to run 2 ohms, what would you do, put 1 2 ohm speaker on it that gives you 90dB/m, or put a 4 ohm speaker on it that gives you the same 90dB/m, but makes the amp have reserve enough to add more speakers on it so you can rise the efficiency of the speakersystem with the same 2.83Volts?
