Re: Need Advice: 20-39PC-Plus - Push to the limit without bottom out


Do you mean to ask if it's ok if your sub hits 80dB peaks, or if you listen at reference? Reference level is probably a bit too loud considering it's a single 20-39 PC+ in a decent sized room and you're running it in the 16hz tune. I'd guess your sub should be able to handle peaks of around 105-110dB at your LP before you run into problems. Of course this depends on your room acoustics, subwoofer and seating positions, etc. What did you use to calibrate your system to reference level? I know DVE is 75dB, and Avia is 85dB. What source did you use that sets reference level at 80dB?
