The standard is:

SPL @ 1-watt input, measured @ 1 Meter.

It's been around for 30-years that I know of.

A lot of companies are measuring at 2.83v/1m

Example: MTX- http://www.mtxaudio.com/caraudio/pro...a_T9510-04.pdf

Now, take that 2.83v, and apply Ohm's Law:

P=E^2 / R

P is power
E is voltage
R is resistance

P= 2.83^2 /4

P= 2 Watts

The gimmick is that 1w can still be derived from 2.83v, if you're using an 8 ohm resistance. However...most car subwoofers use 4 ohm coils- which would put the input power at 2 watts, as opposed to 1 :)
