100 db @ 2.83 volts, isn't that the same as 1 watt?
Only into a constant 8 Ohm load.
Even if a speaker is rated at 8 Ohms, this is usually a nominal rating. The actual impedance will change across the frequency range of the speaker, often quite significantly. Thus, the power input (Watts) required to maintain that fixed gain rating (dB) changes across the frequency range as the impedance does.
For example, 2.83 V into a 4 Ohm load requires 2 watts, not 1 watt.
