When using HornResp, we typically use sine waves, which are much harder on a speaker than music. Several people have made comments about "Crest
factor", but no one has explained if it can be used to predict the power requirements of music.
Assume that we have a speaker with an x-max of 10 mm. Playing music that contains a 40 Hz fundamental, deflecting the speaker 9 mm and an 80 Hz 2nd
harmonic deflecting the speaker 3 mm, then the speaker would be distorting. Would the distortion be noticeable?
