Amplifier power corresponds to acoustic power. Doubling the amplifier power increases the acoustic power by 3dB. For example: Increasing an amplifier from 25 watts to 50 watts (double the power) increases the acoustic power by 3dB.

What determines the wattage of an amplifier?
Amps (the amount of electricity) multiplied by volts (the pressure on the electricity) equals wattage. For example, the power outcome of a water wheel, be it milling or crushing, is the equivalent to wattage, while the amount of water is the amps and the speed at which it travels is the volts.
What is a good wattage for an amplifier?
Look for speakers with a top RMS rating of at least 50 watts RMS to go along with the amp. For larger vehicles and for those who just want more volume, you should step up to at least a 75 watts RMS per channel setup.
What does a higher wattage amp do?
When it comes to "volume," many musicians only consider the amplifier's power or wattage rating, and in general, more watts does mean "louder." But while wattage is an important consideration, the efficiency of the speaker(s) that are connected to the amplifier are also an important factor in the loudness equation.
