(for various reasons I needed to join a mismatched pair of 18v drill and battery, annoyed at how much fun it was)

    I’m not the person you replied to in the first place, I’m sure they have a lot more to say than my simple advice

    The volume of a sound is its amplitude, which correlates to its kinetic energy. Kinetic energy in a sound comes from the electrical energy in the speaker. You can lower electrical energy with a resistor.

      Ah, snikes - apologies. I was on the end of a long pain bender (doing pretty solid today) and my whole system wasn’t in one piece. I read up on it as soon as you said something and it made sense to me. Although I thought of use case between an actual speaker versus a bluetooth and between the two I said - well one would just charge slower and the other would just receive less power and sound fainter. But yeah, I don’t have an actual speaker system as a whole, in any entity. I just have a laptop, and a monitor with two little tweeters built in. And then my phone. I used to give a hoot about music very much so, and be perhaps not an audiophile, but an enjoyer of volume and levels. But now I just want to listen to something, with a little volume - that I can just turn on when bathing or doing the dishes. Because I realized many moons ago I used to have a boom-box that I’d jam out to in the kitchen which made the entire process more enjoyable as a whole.

      Thanks though, yet again!
