@Mr_NutterButter are you talking about decibels? i wish it were that simple lol. also gotta worry a bit about power draw and how efficient the speaker is at actually pumping the audio through it. you can have a theoretical maximum decibel threshold but you won't hit that unless your conditions are perfect and mine are quite far from that.

it seem like i may just be going with buying a second one though, because the alternatives all carry some downsides whether it is cost or portability.
