[QUOTE="Chuck Simon, post: 24465, member: 264"] Re: How many watts is my sub getting "Amplifiers don't put out "power" or "watts." They produce voltage which, when meeting the resistance of a voice coil, produce "power." Power is work being done and is measured in Watts." Not really. Amplifiers produce voltage and amperage. P=IE. Power equals voltage times amperage, so amps do produce power! Wattage is a measure of power, not work. The resistance of the speaker absorbs power, it does not produce it. The speaker is a machine that converts electrical energy(or "power") into mechanical energy and that machine is powered by the voltage and amperage(watts) of the amp. Now I am not an engineer, and if I have made an incorrect statement, I welcome corrections. [/QUOTE]
