Q. What wattage subwoofer should I get?

Amplified speakers with around 50 watts RMS per channel — 250 to 500 watts RMS is a good starting point. A system with 100 watts RMS per channel — having at least 1,000 watts RMS, or more for the sub is not uncommon.

Q. How do you convert RMS to Watts?

When converting 1 watt into RMS, simply multiply 1 by 0.707. This would mean that 1 watt is equal to 0.707 RMS, 2 watts are equal to 1.414 RMS and so on and so forth. The value 0.707 is a constant figure and the only variable that you should change in conversion of watt to RMS is the value 1.

Q. Is more RMS watts better?

RMS values are typically much lower than peak power ratings, but they more accurately represent what an amplifier or speaker is truly capable of. Think of RMS as a true listening rating. Although not a perfect means of comparison, most RMS ratings are comparable – especially when measuring among name brand products.

Q. Does higher watts mean better sound?

When it comes to “volume,” many musicians only consider the amplifier’s power or wattage rating, and in general, more watts does mean “louder.” But while wattage is an important consideration, the efficiency of the speaker(s) that are connected to the amplifier are also an important factor in the loudness equation.

Q. What happens if PSU wattage is too high?

There is no truth to the myth that a large wattage power supply will force too much power into your devices causing overheating and burnout. The power supply will only provide the needed wattage. For example, a device that needs 50 watts will only get 50 watts from a 250 watt supply, not the entire 250 watts.

Q. Does higher wattage mean stronger motor?

The wattage rating is usually (read the manufacturer’s specs very carefully) the measure of how much power the motor can draw. It doesn’t tell you anything more than that. Wattage does not tell you whether the motor is efficient at converting the input electrical energy into output mechanical energy.

Q. Does higher wattage charge faster?

In a way, yes. More Watts means a faster charge. But you just cannot push more power to a battery and expect it to charge faster. For Fast Charging to work, you need a charger that can output more Watts and also a device that can actually accept that amount of power.

Q. Is it bad to charge with a higher wattage?

No. The power rating of a charger has no bearing on the life of the battery nor the consumption of power by the device. A higher wattage charger only means it can supply up to the specified amount of current, not that it will push that amount of current to the device.

Q. What wattage is fast charging?

As a general rule, a charger needs to be at least 18W from a single port to deliver fast charging. You can also check for the USB Power Delivery and Quick Charge logos on packaging.
