Hey everyone,
Heres my question that I hope someone can answer. I have an 8-zone whole house audio system with a sony receiver powering it at 100 WPC. Each zone has a stereo impedece matching volume control made by russound.Is there a formula for figuring how many watts are actually getting to each speaker.Do I just divide 100 watts by 8 for each channel or is there a more scientific way of figuring it out.I have radio shack in-ceiling speakers that are rated for about 40 WPC. I have the receiver set at about half volume and have at times put the volume controls at max. The speakers seem to handle it fine and put out a pretty good volume (They sound pretty good for cheap speakers. Most are 6.5" single point stereos).
Thanks for any help
