Does anyone know what wattage a Dragster DW 124 sub is?

Thanks Dave

Don't be so sarcastic. that was all i could see for wattage specs from the
website. if you are gonna be rude, use google and go find the info yourself!

Aw, don't mind him he's just fishing for a fight. He's all in a huff
because there is no such thing as Watts RMS, even though it's (mis)used
all over the place. Whenever you think to write Watts RMS, just replace
the "RMS" with "average sine-wave power" and you'll probably not set off
the local land-mines. ;-)

This group (alt.engineering.electrical) does have *engineering*
in it's title. And by the way Tony, "average sine-wave power" is
also meaningless. It's *average power*, depending on the failure
mechanism "average" may be over a wildly different time scale. Of
course there are other failure mechanisms than power.

hmm, sorry for the crosspost.

I don't think "average sine-wave power" is meaningless, especially if it
was qualified with some specific frequency, say 400Hz or 1kHz. Since
we're splitting hairs and all, I think it's more meaningful than just
saying 200W by itself. I mean if it's a 200W speaker, can I put 50V DC
at 4A into it safely? How about 1kV at 200mA? ;-) Why specifically
wouldn't it be correct to say "Watts RMS" if that's the type of V they
multiplied by A to come up with W? Should it be assumed that Vrms is
always used when calculating AC power and Watts RMS is redundant? It
just seems to me that Watts RMS actually could stand for something
specific. Should the audio world just measure it as PEP? ;-)

RMS or Root Mean Square, as for putting dc through a speaker it WILL fry the
coil as a speaker is only designed to take AC, to find the peak wattage of
the speaker divide the RMS by 0.707

Oh, my! ...and I just promised that I wouldn't go ballistic on
an audiophool again.
