[QUOTE="trunks9_us, post: 2367750, member: 562522"] you are correct! here is a ex. It probably is 2 volt rms and 5 volt max. You have to remember even with headunits just because it says 5 volts or 8 volts it is not telling you where that unit is putting out that 5 volts. Just like when you listen to your amp. You may have a 9.0 that is fully capable of running 2200 watts rms, but where you listen to it it may only be putting out 1000. So does that mean that your 2200 watts is being wasted.....no not at all because its easier for that 9.0 to produce 1000 watts than it would be for a 6.0 to produce it. So everything is working more efficent and the power is clean and sounds good. Same idea wiht your headunit. If its capable of producing 2 volt rms and 5 volt peak it will perfrom better than a headunit that produces 2 volt peak and .5 volt rms. [/QUOTE]
