The Carver is 375 watts PER CHANNEL into 8 ohms,500 watts PER CHANNEL into 4 ohms.One channel for each driver,mono signal.Over 400 watts to each driver.(Measured with a scope at clip point) At this level,video tapes were falling off my TV,an end table vibrated across the floor,and things were falling off of shelves in other rooms.

Driving the LABhorn with the headphone output of a Sony Discman,I was reading 90 db at the mouth of the horn,playing "Sharp Dressed Man" by ZZ Top.

True,his room is somewhat larger than mine,but he'll have no trouble getting 60-80 db(or even 100-110 with a small amp.Considering he's in a condo,unless he invites all the neighbors over for a party,he'll be visited by the police long before approaching the limit of even a small amp.

800 watts per driver? That's not "Headroom",thats "Time for a new room!"

AHHH!!! I love the sound of cracking concrete in the morning!!!
