do more watts better sound? If so, how? like. more bass or whati'm buying a casio electric keyboard and i was debating over 2. the set of stereo speakers for one of them said 2.5watts per speaker and the other one said 6 watts per speaker. Each of the keyboards has 2 built in speakers.
A watt is how power is expressed when working. It does not equal loudness, but there are some basic formula's that will help you with this expression. A speaker will gain 3 db's when a watt is doubled. 85 db's at 1 watt, 88 db's at 2 watts, 91db's at 4 watts, ect If two speaker are different db's at 1 watt, #1 is 85 and #2 is 94 db's, it will take 9 db for speaker #1 to match speaker # 2. *** speaker #1 85db at 1 watt 88db at 2 91db at 4 94db at 8 97db at 16 ***speaker # 2 94 db at 1 watt 97 db at 2 100 db at 4 103 db at 8 To answer your original question, the watt of power that a speaker will hold is what power the driver will take before the voice coil is overheated and might fail or damage the speaker.
more wattslouder although 2.5 and 6 watts, is not much of a difference.both arent very loud
watts mostly PMPO or peak music power output- most advertised on inferior products that reach that level of sound by using a bit too much distortion. The more reputable source of watts is RMS or root mean square (.707) of the peak of the sine wave. Either way let the casio rip as you probably won't wake up the old hag next door )
External amp and speaker, they sell them at Best Buy now. Unless you live somewhere were they don't like loud music( like an apartment complex, I hear the guy next door all the time) or in someone else's home, then I buy something with an output for that setup. Or always buy the one with more watts. It's better to have to much then not enough, and have to return it and buy the other one.
