Re: Estimating Speaker Power Rating

I've written a couple programs that graph rms and avg of music, and the
rms always seems to track the avg about 3dB hotter. So a nice S L O W
avg would track voice coil heat pretty close.. just assume the rms
voltage is 3dB hotter than what you are measuring with the avgerager.
