What does it mean if a speaker is 'CEA-2006 compliant'?

Answer 1

The CEA-2006 compliance is a volunteer based program initiated by the CEA to adopt an industry standard for consumer electronics specifically related to in-vehicle electronics and more specifically to in-vehicle audio amplifiers. Speakers with the CEA-2006 logo will have specifications tested by the CEA standards and these ratings will be compatible for a comparison with CEA-2006 compliant amplifiers. It essentially ensures that your speakers can do and handle what they say they can in terms of the listed specifications.
