The loudness of a speaker is measured in decibels (dB) rather than watts. The perceived loudness increases by approximately 3 decibels with each doubling of the power, so a 100-watt speaker would be louder than a 50-watt speaker, but the precise decibel level would depend on the specific speaker design and efficiency. It is also worth noting that the human ear can detect sound intensities as low as 0 dB and becomes uncomfortable at around 120 dB, so it’s important to consider the intended use and appropriate volume level when using a speaker, regardless of its wattage.
