Amplifier wattage ratings are typically expressed in RMS (continuous) and peak (momentary) nomenclature. In this case, the amplifier is capable of delivering 200 watts continuously and 400 watts for an instant, such as when program material requires a very high output level to be reached - think explosion or a super low frequency bass cello note.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Spend a BUNCH more money on another brand. Would be easier to just add a second sub at this value.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Mean power, or root mean square (RMS) power handling, refers to how much continuous power the speaker can handle. The peak power handling value refers to the maximum power level that the speaker is capable of utilizing in short bursts. For example, a speaker with a 30W RMS rating but a peak rating of 60W means that speaker can comfortably run with 30 watts of continuous power, with occasional bursts of up to 60W.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The advertised 400 watt rating is the peak ( momentary ) output; the 200 watt rating is the RMS ( continuous ) power delivery. This peak / continuous rating is common nomenclature for amplifiers.
