In laymen 's terms, yes. But the "Watts" of a speaker is not what the total power of the speaker is. The are usually two different ratings for speakers to determine the total power. One is "RMS", which means root-means square. And the terms "peak or continuose power". A speaker can be 400 Watts, 360 RMS, 390 continuous power. That means it will take an amp at least 400 Watts to drive the speaker properly. And the speaker will perform at 360 Watts RMS, and peak out at 380 Watts continuous power. Remember, u can't blow a speaker from overpowering it. Only from under power. The speaker will distort and sound horrible from overpowering, but it will not blow.

What are drivers in headphones Ex. 50mm drivers?
Druversare the size of the speaker in millametres they provide either louder sound/ deeper bass when they are larger.
What happens to the volume of sound as the amplitude get larger?
The greater the amplitude of a sound wave the louder the sound.
Does amplitude mean louder?
No. Amplitude refers to the height of a wave. If the wave is a sound wave a larger amplitude would mean a louder sound.
What can you put inside the sound hole to make the guitar sound louder?
A microphone connected to an amplifier and speaker(s).
What is the diaphragm in a speaker used for?
The diaphragm is the part of the speaker that physically interacts with the air to produce sound. The electromagnets underneath the diaphragm create motion, and it is the repeated in/out movements of the diaphragm that change the position of the air particles in the surroundings, creating sound waves. Larger movements lead to a louder sound, whereas the frequency of the movement correlates to the pitch.
Can you please explain wattage and how much I should look for when purchasing my speakers?
Wattage is the amount of sound a speaker can pump out. More wattage means the speaker will be louder, but won't necessarily sound better.
Why does a guitar string produce a louder sound if it is plucked harder?
the larger the amplitude at which something vibrates = the louder the sound. so by plucking a string harder, you're increasing the amplitude of the sound waves and thus increasing the sound volume
Effect that wattage will have on a speaker is defined as?
Wattage is the power applied to a speaker. More power usually means more volume. The sound pressure that a speaker will produce will be defined by the power applied, the resistance or impedance of the speaker (a lower impedance speaker will be louder) and the sensitivity of the speaker as a whole (the efficiency to turn the power into sound).
Which is better a 12.5 watts speaker or a 2 watts speaker?
It depends on the environment, a 2 watt speaker is usually smaller and more portable but a 12.5 watt speaker is louder and usually has better sound quality.
What is the energy transformation of megaphone?
Electrical energy gets converted to sound energy. When we speak into the speaker, our sound waves get converted into electrical signals. These signals get amplified and emitted as louder sound. Thus, electrical energy (electrical signals) gets converted into sound energy (amplified/louder sound).
Good titles to see if a speaker is louder inside or outside a box with soundwaves?
How about this: What's inside the box? How Sound Wave Intensity changes in a speaker box to outside.
Do speakers with a higher efficiency rating sound better?
Effieciency ratings don't tell you how well a speaker will sound. They tell you how well it uses power. If your using a low powered factory system then you should a speaker with a higher efficiency rating.
