The United States, the world's biggest oil consuming country, consumed 18.5 million barrels of oil per day (mbd) in 2012, which accounted for nearly 20% of the world's total oil consumption per day. The highest level of oil consumption in US history was 20.8mbd, which occurred in 2005.
It is also important to be conscious of the speakerâs sensitivity rating, measured in decibels (dB). The higher the number, the less power a speaker requires in order to reach higher volumes without distortion. For most car speakers, this number typically ranges between 88 to 92 dB.
It's not rating a minimum power or a recommended power. Most 100-watt car speakers will work perfectly well on factory radio outputs, and you aren't going to do them any harm by trying them out. (Ignore anyone who tells you that you can blow any speaker by using it with too low power an amplifier; this is not true).
