what is the the RMS WATTAGE?
198242
I believe it is only 20W per channel which is why I bought it for my 20X26 garage. If I turn it up 1/2 way it is much louder than I need. Also, at 1/2 volume, it's barely possible to hold a conversation. This system gets 5 stars from me. The sound is crisp. I plug in my I-phone and put on Pandora and that's all I need. I also have cable radio and this hooks up nice. You can get complete information on this from the Yamaha website.

Don't put it past 1000 watts rms. Also put it in a ported box. I had mine in a sealed box at 1000 watts rms. It got too hot and melted my speaker wire.

Checked the box, unit and instructions. The only wattage listed anywhere is 1875.

The power rating is overall and the manufacturer does not provide a specific figure for the sub alone. I'd venture to say it's around around 100-125 RMS and 200-250 max but again that's an estimate.

Dont know.... bought this as a gift ...I never recieved it .... but I've done enough Appliance repairs to know that 1500 Watts translatesto 15 Amperes: +/- oneAmp, and many times a low setting is about half that..... Hair Dryers, esp.......

Well I googled it and it said 200 Watt RMS, but I wouldn't expect anything above 150 if I were you.

I'm pretty sure it's RMS. It's quite powerful depending on your speaker setup. Sounds great with my 'classic' set of Klipsch.

It all depends on the load. Peak to peak may reach 1500 watts instantaneously, however true rms power may appear very low.

The manual states 100 watts X 4 is the RMS rating @ 4 ohms. 200 watts x 4 RMS @ 2 ohms.

I do not know the wattage, but I do know that it works perfect on an 12 volt RV battery. I watched it for 9 hours to test it out and still had a half a battery left. You will not go wrong with this unit. The only thing that could be improved is the sound volume. The sound is crisp and clear but not very loud. Sounds perfect if you hook it up to a stereo system.

Crutchfield has the specs as "Peak Power Output (Watts x Channels) 450 x 2". Peak wattage (in this case 900 watts) is important to be available during certain demanding parts of a song, but is not sustainable (Think of it like you're jogging and a dog starts chasing you. You can get a burst of speed to get away, but can't run that fast for a long period). The sustained/continuous wattage is what the RMS refers to. That is what the more important statistic is to look at and how most legitimate amps are rated. I have this amp and consider it very good, especially at this price point. Sorry if I got too off topic. Hope this helps!

I don't know about the minimum wattage but I know it maxes out at 250 watts (RMS value) when using the BRIDGE connection which has an output impedance of 4 ohms. Obviously you just need to make sure your main power/volume knob is turned up enough to get your 50 watt minimum. If you run the single channels they have an output impedance of 8 ohms.

Its not mentioned even on the packaging but I would guess 3-5 watts rms. They get pretty loud but after about 2/3 volume the sound quality isnt great, below that they are still pretty loud and sound decent for what they are. My girlfriend likes them and there loud enough for her. If turned up while not playing sound you will here some crackling and feed back from the usb port.

Rms is the actual power to the speakers. Your speakers will have an tms rating as well so you will want to make sure you are not exceeding speakers ability or they can be damaged. This is a noceLittle amp for the money

To qualify that, previous poster is correct on the 45w but that's max of course, not rms. The rms is 18

Hi, I am not sure what the wattage is, but I can tell you this unit is very energy efficient. I used to use a window fan for noise, and this does not draw as much power. It is small. I feel it is smaller than most units. However, don't let the size fool you. It is great. The sound is incredible. There are many different sound options. I have been sleeping great since using this. I hope I was able to answer your question.
