Hey guys. Does anyone know what is the difference between peak power and RMS power? I am trying to understand what that means for my speakers.

These are terms with specific meanings:

- Peak power is the max power level of one-half cycle.
- Peak-to-peak power is double the value of peak.
- Root-mean-squared (RMS) power is equal to sin45 * peak. It is approximately 70.7% of the peak power level.
