Amp question

[firebird417]

i am looking into buying an amp and need to know what channels mean, i know theyre two output things but do they split the peak watts or do they each get the max wattage. Like im buying a 350w rms 700 watt peak 2 chanel amp. I have 2 subs pushing out 350w rms and 700w peak each would this amp work?

No. Wattage for amps is always stated per channel. 350 wrms X 2 @ x ohms. You want to match or even exceed the rms wattage of your speakers with the wattage of the amp. For example you have 2-350Watt rms speakers. If you want a single channel Get an amp that will do 7-900 watts rms at whatever load you are running. are the speakers dual or single voice coil. what is the impedance of the coils?
