Here is the paradoxical question of the day & would welcome any answers on this one for this specific situation. Whether you like Orb Audio speakers or not, I'm planning because of the way I've respaced/reheightened my 5.1 Orb Mod 1 speakers, to have the Center Speaker be an Orb Mod 2 speaker, which is basically 2 Mod 1 speakers combined that obviously produce alot more volume then just 1 Mod 1 Speaker. Assume hypothetically, the DB levels for the left front & right front speaker is 0, and for arguments sake, say they were set by an SPL reader.
Furthermore assume the original center Mod1 Speaker was 0. If I use an SPL on this for the Mod 2 Center, I'm essentially lowering the DB's till it matches the original Mod 1 which defeats the whole purpose unless I'm totally misinterpreting something. In general, if you replace your center speaker with a more powerful one, shouldn't the DB's on this new more powerful speaker be a lot lower including a minus level? Help I admit I'm totally confused.
