How did portable speakers become so powerful?

294 views

Back in the 80s or 90s you would have needed 2 car batteries in row to get a bass heavy sound like the kids are blasting today on their little blutooth speakers. What gave the technological boost, better batteries or better speaker tech?

Batteries played a huge role. 35 years ago, I was into R/C cars. The most common battery was a 7.2 volt 1200 mAh pack with 6 sub-C cells. Now they use a comparably sized 5200 mAh LiPo battery; over four times as much power. You can now have something the size of a paperback book that can jumpstart a car.

If you want a 60 watt speaker that lasts more than a few minutes, modern batteries can provide that at a far more reasonable size than the batteries of the past.
