Hi,
When and Why we use 10db and 20db for frequency response?
 

10dB is 10 times the audio power that sounds twice or half as loud. 20dB is the rise or drop per decade of frequencies of a single RC filter.
Frequency response is spec'd at -3dB which is half the power and is a noticeable but small decrease in loudness.

Whenever you are using the power values you use 10log(P2/P1) whenever you are using voltages it will be 20log(v2/v1).As u know P=vsquare/R(where v is voltage and r is the resistance).
