Hey guys,
today I've been wondering what the max RMS power of a speaker actually means.
All sources I found say something along that it's the "maximum safe volume" to run a speaker, but no data really.
Safe in terms of what? Of not melting the internals? Of not damaging the membranes mechanically? Or is it saying something like "X watt @ 10% THD"?
Are max RMS power and THD related at all?
What do I make of this spec line? Does it tell me that this speaker can get really loud? Does it tell me it can handle lot's of power without starting to burn even if it's playing at 200 % THD?
