hi.
 
on the precision devices website for the pd1850 it states 800watt rms.
 
 
but on the same website the pdf for the pd1850 states 800watt AES.
 
 
Confused
 
so what are they. ?

Does not matter, user should drive them with 1000W-1500W per driver anyway.

are you running some 1850's?
regards the question:
only unless both ratings are not the same thing
"Does not matter, user should drive them with 1000W-1500W per driver anyway. "
as yourself after reading extensively on this forum what does it matter when:
"Does not matter, user should drive them with 1000W-1500W per driver anyway."

RMS and AES are two ways of telling how much driver can take power without coil being cooked. They rely on different ways of measurning it but the results are very similar, usually they are max 100w off each other

yes i know that.

do you mean one rating will usually be 100watts maximum higher than the other. ?
 
''if'' there is a drifrence in watts power handling between rms and aes no matter how small they cant both be 800w at the same time

I wouldn't read too much into the stated AES figure. These drivers are years old and it's a widely known fact that they should be given at least 1kw (preferably more) for best results.

Unfortunately you're wrong.

A driver rated at 800w RMS should give best results at any rated power, not necessarily more than its rated power. That is absurd.
