I got some new speakers. But i wanna know how loud they are

[gerbils_alt]

They are 96 decibels... But how loud is that?

I have 2 of them... In a relatively small room... My bedroom....

How loud, As compared to something else. should they be?

Oh and Idunno if this is the wrong section... They are connected to my computer so.....

[Ssandman]

It's about the equivalent of listening to firecrackers go off as far as loudness.

[gerbils_alt]

Never heard firecrackers go off.... Anything else you can compare them too?

[Pantz76]

IE They're loud enough for almost anything you'll be using them for (except a club).

[gerbils_alt]

Lolololololololol.

This. Will. Be. Epic...

Finally... I can satisfy my need for playing AC\DC so loud that I can't hear.

But i would like a few more opinions.

[Pantz76]

Scince you don't have a subwoofer (I'm assuming) then don't expect mind blowing sound.

But like I said you should be satisfied. Just don't turn them up too loud for too long. You'll increase the chance they'll blow out.

Subwoofer you say?

I don't really like bass.

[Pandamobile]

Audio without good bass sounds like absolute shit.

I did not say i listen to it without. I just prefer to have it a little lower than normal.
Just enough so the bass guitar and drums make my room vibrate a little.

Not like those people in their cars with the bass all the way up/

Do you have a subwoofer?

I hate speakers without a sub.

Meh, most 2 cone speakers do a good enough job at producing bass.

Then again I [I]do[/I] live in an apartment, so a subwoofer would be useless.

I live in an Apartment with a full speaker system. I keep my sub on four pillows, and the guy below me says he doesn't hear a thing.

Interesting..

I guess it wouldn't be that big of a difference even if I did have a woofer, cause the bitch that lives below me will start banging on her ceiling at me when I'm sitting down not making any noise, or sleeping (she's some kind of crazy). They again she might kill me.

[butre]

I'm going to tell her that you called her a bitch

[KarlHeinrichMar]

Go ahead, she couldn't get much more insane. She came to my house once, knocked on my door and immediately started calling me a devil and saying a bunch of incoherent shit.

That bitch is scaaaaary.

Enough off-topic shit though.

I read that as "My mom's six year old came with subwoofers"

I was intrigued to say the least.
