I'm Really confused on the watts part. The factory page says 900w peak but also says-150 Watts RMS x 2 Channels 150 x2 is 300 in my mind. Help?

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.

This amp is rated for subwoofers at a 4ohm load at 450Wx1. The manual says in a 2 ohm load wired in bridged mode you can achieve 900W @ 2ohms but it is not meant to drive a subwoofer. So this is how they can say 900w. I actually attempted it anyway and gave it a 2 ohm load and the amp went into shut down.

This is correct 150w x 2 in 4 ohms. "x2 means" 2 channels (ie. left and right aka "stereo"). 900w would probably be on a 14.4v system but in bursts. Most vehicles run at 12 volt or a tad more or less, depending on alternator and battery condition.

Maybe too much power. Difficult to get rms figures for the amp but I reckon 300w per channel works. The amp seems quite happy driving one cabinet with one channel only. You can always use the second channel for a second cab should you ever get one. BTW. Amp still going strong. No problems.

I was going to say it seemed like 100 watts rms was the stated max for wattage--and durned if I wasn't right....Just know its just a numbers game with higher #'s being more impressive. I look at the sensitivty rating of the speaker 1st especially for car systems--they seem to play even more 'bigger is better games' than the home system players. Anyway, it's all in your ears when it comes down to it...that and budget restraints.

The speakers are 25 W RMS, 100 W Peak here is a link to the spec sheet. http://www.behringer.com/assets/1C-BK_P0196_S_EN.pdfI hope that helps.

The owners manual doesn't use "RMS" in the ratings section, so whether the ratings are RMS or peak is subject to debate. The listed ratings are 2x210 watts at 8 ohm, 2x320 watts at 4 ohm, and 2x420 watts at 2 ohm, and bridged mono is 650 watts at 8 ohms, 845 at 4 ohms. FYI- my right channel died about 3 weeks ago; I'm listening to just one speaker right now. haven't had a chance to contact them re: the 3 year warranty.

Wattage can be calculated by W = V x I. According to the spec, max Amp of this unit is 12A and it runs on 120V.Hence max W would be = 12A x 120V = 1,440W for peak

Hello. The RMS power at 8 ohms is 25 watts, and its peak power would be 33 watts per channel. You will need to wire a speaker at 2 ohms per channel to take advantage of the full output power of this amplifier.

Its 2000 watts, feels like 1200 rms and i had this amp for 2 years and its phenomenal...Huge bang for your buck!

It's each 700 watts, higher wattage peak. Can't remember the peak wattage. Sorry. Anyway these speakers are great. You can crank em up and won't even come close to distorting!

I wouldn't worry too much about the peak watts, it's all about the RMS power which is 500 watts and thats pretty decent

well the 4 channel actually gives (bridged to 2 channels) only gives you true watts of 110 watts peak power per channel. if you get the 2 channel if bridged only gives you 150 watts peak. Spend more money and get a better amplifier.

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

The website lists the nominal capacity at 600 watts. I don't know if that is accurate since I don't have the manual that came with mine. Having said that, those numbers are not that important since the companies that make this stuff don't always use the same formula to get their results. What is important is you pair it with a good, clean powered amp. I would recommend you get the most powerful one you can get with the least distortion. Just don't let the speaker clip...sounds like it's popping.

The rms is 1200 and max is 2400; but unless you have a pro grade amp you can push it well past that; I have mine pushing 2400 watts on a legacy amp and it needs more power still

At least a 300 minimum 2 channel amp. It says peak is 600 watts if you blast it. I ran a 800 watt kenwood and it works just fine. I dial it down so it's running around 60-75% max power so my amp doesn't have to work hard and the bass still hits hard.

I'm not sure but it does sound pretty nice. I think its 45watts per channel. I hooked up an amp for my sub and it really does sound great.
