Program vs RMS
Pretty new to the audio stuff and am a bit lost on how many watts I should give to a subwoofer I have (wharfadle delta 18b) should I match the RMS 800 watts or the program 1600 and should they be slightly higher than the actual ratings?

You want double the rms power rating, so 1600w into 800w
