I'm not sying this isn't a good deal, but I would find out more about this before making an actual purchase. Actually listening to it would be even better.
Well, to be fair, I don't think this sub has typically sold for $300. Looking at consumer reviews, most people have paid $450-750 so the MSRP when it first came out was fairly high.Originally posted by: gotincon
Almost all home subs are measuresd in peak watts, so divide that by 2 and you make have an accurate rms value. 1000 watts rms to a 10" driver is doable, (ala JL 10W7), but not for 300 dollars for the sub and amp, so I am sure it isn't near 1000 rms. Besides, to much power into a cheap sub only makes it sound worse, so in the cheap department, looking for huge power numbers in counterproductive. Just put the sub in the corner of the room for some corner loading and that will make it louder.

Still, you're right, I really doubt that it can really do 800 watts RMS. My guess is closer to 250. I still think it's a good deal based on the reviews.

YST kicks major ass. Too bad I don't need yet another subwoofer.

correct me if I'm wrong...I've been wrong before but if I remember correctly...going back to 1989 Navy avionics training....Isn't the RMS about 63.6% of the peak?
40 to 140Hz frequency range
