2000 watts in the 8" model. That speaker must be made of some secret materials to not blow apart or melt.
As,for DB's their new line only 1 higher than the older models.
I think for bigger venues just adding more speakers would increase coverage and sound quality better,than maxing out one or two speakers. More speaker area,to move more air.
