speaker sensitivity

[greatone99]

I changed out my focal k2 power 2 ohm 89.8 sen at 1watt 1 meter feeding them 250 watts each ,to audison sax 87 sensitivity at 1 watt 1 meter fending them 140 watts ,my question is how much volume /loudness will I lose and will it be noticeable or very noticeable .I think if I did my math right im losing about 5.5 db total ,after doing the math .

Too many variables and the 1w/1m is not across the spectrum. It's usually at 1khz, that's why it's not a guide, especially on subwoofers! But knowing those two speakers, you will/should lose a lot of volume as the K2 are a high-volume, low-distortion type of speaker.

I lost a bit ,but its still to loud for any extended use .116.8 for the focals ,111.3 for the audison , if my math is right 3 db requires twice the power ,10 db sounds twice as loud ,the audison speakers 6.5 sax sound way better ,paired with the audison violino tweeters ,but we r also talking 4300 vs 1299 .I also took the time to sound deadened the backside of the plastic door skin .I already did the actual doors inside and out and sealed them up with your block off plates last time I put in the k2 .and used your speaker adapters .
