[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 492817, member: 555320"] RMS is how much power the sub(s) can handle on a continuous basis. Peak is the ILS rating (If Lightening Strikes). Peak is the amount of power the subs can handle for split seconds just before they burst into flames (since we are talking about Audiobahn, no pun intended [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] ) In car audio, ONLY look at the RMS rating, it is the only thing that matters. This applies to both amplifiers and subs. Now, by looking at audiobahn's webpage (this is honestly the first time I have ever been to their site) is looks like you what you have is rated 800w RMS at 4ohm [I]stereo[/I]. So, I assume they mean each sub is 4ohm, and each sub can handle 400w RMS. So, it sounds like that amp offered to you would work (since you could wire the subs in parallel for a 2ohm load) as long as those are the RMS ratings and not the Peak ratings. [/QUOTE]
