It calculates that I need 2000 watts! I guess I don't need 144 db. Ok 2 watts at 90 db, I can deal with that.

The motions of his spirit are dull as night and his affections dark as Hell. Let no such man be trusted." William Shakespeare

The one I posted says one watt.  I'll have to try the others.
