[QUOTE="hispls, post: 7787626, member: 614752"] No. Normal "music" would likely average 10-20% of full potential. Root Mean Squared is a method by which you average a distance away from 0 counting + or - integers (or the area between the wavefrom and 0V). The function basically just turns the negative numbers positive then comes up with an average. For example your "115V" wall socket would show 160V peak if you put it on an o-scope. For any discussion short of observing waveforms under a scope we deal with RMS power to discuss AC current, voltage, and power. For a clean sine wave RMS is .707 X peak, this ratio changes for various shaped waveforms (hence why a clipped signal...approaching square wave creates more power ie. one of the reasons it blows up speakers faster) [/QUOTE]
