Are the watts rated in''RMS''? Like is it 350 watts RMS?

I don't know for sure, I think it's peak watts, I do know that for movies and music it is definitely loud enough and I like a lot of bass. I've never even had it halfway volume.

wattage given in specs by manufactures are in peak power. RMS is the more accurate measurement giving you the power that can be expected at all times. to get the RMS value you take the peak power and divide by the square root of two. so this 350W peak power would have an RMS of ~247W.

There are three measurements in questions. Average RMS (root mean squared) is basically the power going through the device overall. Peak RMS are those loud times. Peak power is the measurement of the tops and bottom of the waveforms. Unless you are only interested in driving your system into the worst possible distortion, with imminent destruction in mind, then peak power might be a useful measurement. It has nothing to do with music.

Root Mean Square (RMS) measures the average power of the waveform in the subwoofer. It is a measure of average power and a much more reliable metrics than the pure peak power people usually refers too. In this case, 350W is the peak power - meaning the subwoofer is rated to withstand this power for a limited time. The average-like RMS (150W in this case) is usually considered a better criteria to evaluate the power of a subwoofer.

I don't know how many watts it is. We ended up sending it back. The sound was good to start but it got scratchy.

Just checked manual and it refers to the website. To be honest, it sounds more like 100 W RMS than 180.

there is no set standard for rating watts, I have sold audio gear for many years, if you go to onkyo's web page and look at specs, you will see different numbers for different ohms and frequency, all manufactures do this. Very expensive amps will double there power into four ohms, but these are in the thousands of dollar range. The size of the power supply is what really makes a difference. If your speaker package is under the $2000 price range this should be fine, I bought this for my sons system.

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

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.

I smaller amp one with about 500-700 watts rms. this sub I believe can not handle the told watts.
1053868
Not at all. 1000 rms max. For my case, the most I can give mine is ~600 watts

It is "132 watt RMS" which relates to the sound and has nothing to do with the wireless that is mentioned after...I really don't get why they put the word "wireless" in when advertising the unit. It is not wireless in the least. Nice system though.

Im not sure. I used this for a sub box for my car,and I have 3500 watts running threw the set. And my amp is rated at 300 amps, as far as how much power it is pulling. Hope that helps some.

i believe it is 75 watts...i remember i chose this one because it had a lot more watts than others at this price range...has more bass than i care to use...sounds great...very pleased

no the amp at best I would say it's 75 watts it will not perform good at all unless u just care of a bad boom sound.

It says 35 watts, but I'd like to know how that transfers to amp draw per hour.
2123925
Yes The sub however has an RMS of 350 so be careful not to over power the amp because the sub won't be able to take it

These are rated for 80 watts RMS and I wouldn't advise going over that figure. I'm running mine on a Kenwood amp at 50 watts per channel RMS. They sound excellent! They do tend to distort a bit with a lot of bass so I've installed base blockers on my set. Great choice if you're looking for sound quality but I'd look elsewhere if you're goal is to entertain the neighborhood.

I will agree with you, the rating seems low. I have them operating on 70 volt lines and am running it to 25 watts without any trouble. I'm sure it can go more. Remember, that 50 watts could be 5 amps...+_ depending on output voltage and load impedance

Yup. I think it's 250 watt rms. get a mono amp, I get a jvc mono amp for ~$100 it its worked great for the past two years, especially for a cheap amp. Look at the sub specs and get an amp that closely matches it.
