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

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. ;-) |

hmm, sorry for the crosspost.

Of course there are other failure mechanisms than power. 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 "Anthony Fremont" wrote in message ... "Keith R. Williams" wrote in message . ..

You can be sure of one thing on this NG....... BAD AND RUBBISH ADVICE!!!! Note: you can apply DC to a voicecoil. IIRC RMS is not simply Peak power *0.707 |

coil as a speaker is only designed to take AC, to find the peak wattage of
the speaker divide the RMS by 0.707 Well that has got to be the funniest I have seen for the month. You can be sure of one thing on this NG....... BAD AND RUBBISH ADVICE!!!! Note: you can apply DC to a voicecoil. Yup, this is how one of the theil small parameters is measured. They apply DC to the coil and measure the actual mechanical force the coil can apply. IIRC RMS is not simply Peak power *0.707 RMS is exactly .707 * the peak voltage of a wave. Note that some companies advertise peak power as both sides of a sine wave added together. eg. A sub running at 800 watts peak would have 400 watts on one side of the wave and 283 watts RMS. If a sub can take an advertised 400 watts RMS, then technically it can take a peak to peak wattage of 1131.5 watts. Just my $,02 of course Aaron |

"Tzortzakakis Dimitrios" wrote in message ... What??You pay two ****ing cents for a message?? -- Dimitris Tzortzakakis,Greece Since you're from Greece, I don't know if you're trying to make a joke or not. The phrase, 'my two cents worth' (also written several other ways), is just an expression. Much like the phrase, 'in my humble opinion', the author is just offering his opinion. Comes from the idea that everyone has opinions, and they usually aren't worth much (say, around two cents ;-) daestrom P.S. Not trying to say that Keith's opinion is worthless, just explaining the phrase ;-) |
