Quick question on Hertz DSK 165 components

[eddie_93 10+ year member]

RMS power handling is listed as 80 watts. Is this 80 watts rms per side or 40 watts rms per side? Just browsing for a set of components to run bridged on my Alpine MRP-F240 at 100 watts rms. Thanks guys.

Power Handling: 80 (RMS) - 160 (peak) Watts

When you see it listed like that it's per side.

Typically if they're giving the RMS of a set, it will be noted. and rms value without the words "per set" beside it it, especially if it's under 100w-120w is probably a per side rating.
