[QUOTE="jsloan10, post: 893991, member: 560397"] I would assume its because household current is 110 to 120 volt AC at 60hz, thats why you can hook up a sub to a wall outlet and get "sound", I wouldnt reccomend it though, as most subs will go up in smoke within seconds. The "ghetto" test I suggested can give you a point of reference between 2 amplifiers given that you test the 2 amps with the same load and frequency, squeak9798's link is the only true way to measure a real rms rating. In the end the best test equipment overall is your own ears, all the numbers and brand names in the world mean nothing if it doesnt sound good to you. [/QUOTE]
