well whats that shit . they lie in the manual then ... i have heard alot better trust me they aint nothing to make you envy over lol . but whats that crap they can say its 800w and its really 200w

Could be that their using business tactics to say its 800 PEAK watt.. not 800 RMS

 

[emperorjj1]

same way kenwood rates the party pack amp at 350 peak watts... the only problem is peak is pretty much a made up number. it used to be double rms and actualy signify peak power but in reality now its just whatever the company wants to use to sell the product. stamp it right on the cone of the sub or heatsink of the amp that way people see it and buy regardless of the truth

ya they say 800watt 1000 w peak power ....... your saying it dont even hit 800w?

 

[hockeyplaya]

It can be whatever they want, the only true number is watt RMS. Emperor is right, the party pack I bought they said 350W on my amp, which is actually truly around 50W RMS, hence the new amp. It must say XXX watt RMS on it for the watts to be a true number.

no 800watt RMS means that thats the most watts the sub can handle from a steady flow.

1000w peak power is how much the sub can handle for a split second, for example: a Rim shot from a snare drum.

i think i get it . kinda lol . what about hockey's door speakers ? they good ?

 

[hockeyplaya]

If my speakers are 200W RMS each, how will that work out with my 400W RMS amp?

huh didnt think of that .... say subwoofer 800watt/1000watt peak power ... and it came with a 800watt amp ... mabey its 400watt a speaker . i dont know never put a box or amp in any of my cars before til now .. it does bug me shit in my dash rattles and something in my back seats lol

usually is the rear seats release latch and the tabs that hold that rear deck down
