[QUOTE="Kangaroux, post: 8421282, member: 628495"] There is no standard on peak ratings. Manufacturers use it for marketing. RMS is the only thing that matters. Just be sure that the amp will do the power you need based on the resistance of the subs. E.g. if your subs are dual 4 ohm, each sub can be wired down to 2 ohm individually and then the pair wired down to 1 ohm, so you would want an amp that does say 1000w @ 1 ohm RMS. [/QUOTE]
