Well think about is as a certain number of Joules per second.

If you have 1200 Watts going to your subwoofer, that's 1200 Joules per second.

Joules is a measurement of Work and Energy.

And that's about as much as I know just from some basic physics haha

Honestly can you not spend like 15mins reading? You spent a few grand on your equipment(or say you did) and are not sure about watt's:eyebrow:

no like, ok what is the formula behind the calculator on the bottom of page 11 of.. http://www.bcae1.com/ and you don't really have to know the definition of what a watt actually is to know what they do i just didn't know watts were dependant on time and power
