    In example above , 1,000 watts (double) ~ 2,000 watts.

    A 3dB
    B 6dB
    C 10dB
    Less than 3dB

    So . . . A doubling of sound for those of you wondering what if I put a little bit more on my speakers.

    Nope, don`t be overly concerned.

    But how often will your speaker see 1000 watts from a 1000 watt amp?

    If hearing your speakers twice as loud doesn`t interest you . . .
    No need for additional watts (turning the volume down) has and will be an option (attenuation ) is a viable choice!

    As often as the maximum setting is reached.

    Clipping or square waves can let out "The Magic Smoke" !

    If you set your gains innapropriately or use an underpowered amp, problems may arrise that money can solve ~ just buy new stuff !

    Don`t forget to post: Mystery, mah system don`t work and I didn`t do anything wrong - WTF ?

    So, probably not that often for most of us.

    Don't you mean [years], not "years"?

    The way you answer questions nobody has asked, and argue points no one has brought up is odd, to say the least. Hopefully, it doesn't actually discourage any newcomers to the hobby, whose first exposure to these concepts are your quasi-insulting jabs.

    Re: How many watts for speaker formula

    Would you rather listen to music you like on a system that sounds like crap over music you "don`t like on a system that is excellent ?
    A
    B
    C ... or , I am not sure what you are asking?

    Mr Marv should have posted a third choice for you.
