[QUOTE="metalheadjoe, post: 8840945, member: 581422"] I don't think you understand it well, and I don't think anyone on this forum (including myself) understands it well. I was taught that rms=.707 x peak. Car audio almost always lists rms as half of peak. I hope someone can give a clear explanation. Are you saying that if anyone knows more formulas that you, they must be wrong? Tell my why rms voltage is 70% of peak but rms wattage is 50% of peak. OP asked a great question that I have wondered myself, and you replied without answering. I quoted you because my two other responses are relevant to your comment: Tell my why rms voltage is 70% of peak but rms wattage is 50% of peak. OP asked a great question that I have wondered myself, and you replied without answering. [/QUOTE]
