[QUOTE="qtipextra, post: 1713850, member: 555270"] RMS is a power rating (like PEAK), mesured in watts, that is a thermal rating of how much continous power your subs can take, day after day (daily). PEAK (or MAX) is the maximum amount of power (in watts) a speaker will handle for ONLY a split second. The RMS and peak ratings on an amp are the same, MAX is how much power (watts) it would put out for a SPLIT second before "dieing". RMS is how much power (watts) the amp can put out continously, day after day (again, daily). RMS is the rating you should go by. Match a subs RMS rating to an amps RMS rating. -------- Ohms, is a technical term to describe how much resistence the speaker has against power. Ohms (For the purposes of this thread) is generally used to get a specific power out of an amp. For example, an amp has these specs: 300 RMS @ 4 Ohms 450 RMS @ 2 Ohms 800 RMS @ 1 Ohm. By getting a sub that matches the amp specs above, it will produce that much power at the ohm rating. I have tried to make that as simple as possible. Hope is helps your understanding on the those terms. [/QUOTE]
