| Good instrument speakers are in the hundred dB sensitivities. The trade off is low bass. Car speakers can do that in a nice enclosed venue ( the car) and instrument speakers sacrifice the lowest octave a bit to go much louder in the range where you hear the music more than you feel it. Big subwoofers with huge amps can get you bottom when the time comes. Even then the big subs still only go to 40-35 hz, if they are good loud ones. Stereo subs are another issue and they go lower but again they can not play loud. |

| Im building a car battery-powered PA for guitar, voice and bass. I have some car speakers and a power amp and Im hooking that to a battery-powered mixer. Everything works so far but I havent assembled the parts into an enclosure. |
| Ive read about people buying new TV sets and leaving them in the Back seat of their car for a hour or 2 and to get the TV home and find out that the TV now has nice blue red Lines on the side where the car speakers where in the car. |
| Thanks, Andrew Pound per dBSPL - musical instrument speakers will blow car speakers off the shelf. Car speakers put out 10 dB SPL less per watt than MI on average. 10 dBSPL is ten times the power which means a MI speaker would take one tenth the power to do what a car speaker does or you would need 10 car speakers to do what the MI speaker will do ( within reasonable design parameters) A guitar 5 watt amp with a guitar playing through it will drown out your 600 wPC car stereo. Try it. |
