[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 1502389, member: 561023"] RMS = Root Mean Square. It means the average wattage an piece of equipment will either reliably output or can safely accept as input (depending on what it is - amp or speakers) Ohms is the unit of measure for electrical resistance. The higher the number the more resistance that speaker has. Speakers are rated for this Ohm rating or that and amps can operate safely at X, Y, or Zed number of Ohms - but there isn't anything such as a "2 Ohm amp" or a 1 Ohm amp" Amplifiers either run safely at these loads or they don't. What resistance load is shown to the amp is decided by the electrical resistance, or Ohms, or the speaker(s) you're attaching to the amp. [/QUOTE]
