RMS

[crazyeclipse66]

What does RMS on an amp or sub stand for?

[kpr10is]

continuous power. the peak power is what you're used to seeing, its what the amp can put out at its max for about 1/4 of a second lol. RMS is a lot more useful when deciding what to buy, but that is changing thanks to the consumer electronics agency which is rating all amps now, so it will be a level playing field...so eventually sony won't be allowed to advertise amps as 1200 watts amp when theyre really only about 800.

Just to throw in...

RMS = Root mean sqaure
