RMS.......is the continuious power handeling of a subwoofer and the continuious power output of an amp.......RMS is what the amp runs nominal at and the nominal handeling of the subs.........that meens no damage to either if they are kept at that level....but they can be pushed beyond that but you take a risk of blowing both........


say you have 2 subs that are both 200 watts RMS each and 400 peak............you might wanna run an amp that is 250wats per channel(250x2) RMS so that you can put a little over the rms into the subs to get more bump when a bass line drops hard.............i always try and go over the RMS of the subs by atleast 100 watts per channel but it depends on the amp really and the sub......

Hondakilla........whats your price range?

anything else you want explained?
