but i can't find the old posts. Can anyone tell me how they convert spl ~> psi? is there a formula to figure db ~> lbs/sq.in.
thanks.
oh ya, also, i dunno if this makes any sence. but as far as the freq. there must be a certain point in which the pitch is so high that the psi is so minimal, basically nonexistant...but the db is still there. um...ya i think. How can you figure out at what frequency that happens *the psi drop, but spl still steady*
~scratches head~
thanks guys, marcus

Logarithmic Functions
Given the exponential function
f(x) = y = bx
it is often desirable to solve for x in terms of y. In order to accomplish this, we define a new function called the logarithm (log for short) to the base b, b > 0 , defined as follows:
g(x) = y = log b x whenever x = by
That is, the logarithm to the base b of a real number x is the real number y such that b raised to the yth power is equal to x. The quantity by, where b > 0 , will always have a positive value for any real number y.
If x = by, then y = log b x and x must be positive in either equality. Thus, the logarithm function has a domain that consists only of positive real numbers.
Note that if b = 1, then by = 1 for any real number y. Thus, the logarithm function having base 1 has only one element in its domain, the number 1, and so it has no real significance.
The quantity log b x, where b = 10, is often referred to as simply log x.

Deaf- I would suggest you attempt to hunt down the old post.. It definately has some info that you might want to consider before applying those PSI numbers to anything
