How do you convert watts to dBm?

How do you convert watts to dBm?

Decibels are used to represent the ratio of two quantities of power: db = 10 log P1/P0 . In the case of dbm the reference power P0 is 1 milliwatt : dbm = 10 log P1/1mw. Inverting this equation gives the power in terms of the reference power: P1= P010db/10….Decibels and dbm.

Is a 1000 watt subwoofer loud?

A 1,000-watt subwoofer doesn’t have to play any louder than a 100-watt subwoofer. The watt rating is a rough guide to how loud a subwoofer might be able to play, but it doesn’t have to be louder. You always control the volume. In fact, a 1,000-watt sub may sound better at “regular” room volumes than a 100-watt sub.
