In Reply to: 3dB increase is twice as loud. posted by Joe Murphy Jr on June 10, 2004 at 19:26:58:

IIRC, it takes twice the power to gain 3dbs, and 10 dbs is twice as loud. 90 is twice as loud as 80 and takes a *lot* more power. 100 is twice as loud as 90 and requires tremendous power. With inefficient speakers, that is.

For me to hit 100 requires about... oh, 2 to 4 watts :D

With some Inifnities I had in the past, to hit 100 you needed something like 300 watts.
