This must be a new one. I see they list the watts as follows: Continuous 400/ Program 800/ Peak 1600 watts.

Does anyone have an idea as to what the RMS watts would be with this info?

If it's got the punch and the sound, it looks like a good alternative for a lightweight sub.

I have the EV Sb120a, its predecessor, and it is 400 watts continuous - to me that's RMS. I use it in conjunction with two Mackie C300i passive 2-ways hooked to an 808s power mixer. That is one sweet setup. The 120a is full without being overbearing. There is a gain and output control on the back panel that will help even out the sound, if need be. And, it's lighter than the Mackies.

Scott, RMS (root mean square) is the power a speaker can handle continuously, so 400 is the number you are looking for. You might want to take a look at this article: http://www.prosoundweb.com/install/church_talk/primer3.shtml

"First, there's power handling capacity, usually defined by terms such as "Continuous," "Program" and "Peak". Continuous is the level of long-term average power accepted by the loudspeaker; Program is based upon a test signal that simulates a "real-world" program signal; and Peak refers to the maximum amount of short-term power the loudspeaker will handle."
