    kyle - often, for car audio, dividing the peak number by two will give you the RMS, but that's not really reliable (especially so for cheaper equipment)

    RMS is a misused term in audio. Instead of taking the peak voltage and finding its RMS value, it really means "this is the average power you can achieve with a sine wave for a duration of time".

    Just use whatever the company states wherever. It should be exactly the same in the manual and the website. You'll probably be able to get more with any reputable company.
