[QUOTE="limitkid7, post: 137922, member: 545328"] usually the company will test a speaker by powering it with a certain amount of watts.... when the speaker is at its best performance w/o over doing it or underdoing it that is the rms. rms = recommend Root mean square (rms) is, literally, the square root of the mean of the square of a value. It is a process for calculating an average value for a fluctuating value (such as ac voltage or current.) The term rms power is referred to as the average power. A power amplifier rated as having "200 watts rms power" really puts out 200 watts of continuous sine wave power. or where a speaker is near its best performance..... usually u want to stay w/in this range at least -50 at most about +175 watts max = how much power a speaker can handle The maximum instantaneous power produced over short time intervals. this might help [URL="http://www.eatel.net/~amptech/elecdisc/caraudio.htm"]http://www.eatel.net/~amptech/elecdisc/caraudio.htm[/URL] [/QUOTE]
