How powerful is the unit?

The stereos in our DeckTunes units are capable of providing 50 Watts per channel X 4 channels for a total peak power output of 200 Watts. The RMS (Root Means Squared) or “constant average” power output of each channel is 18 Watts. In addition, the amplifiers sections of our Panasonic head units are CEA-2006 compliant. The Consumer Electronics Association standard CEA-2006, “Testing & Measurement Methods for Mobile Audio Amplifiers” is a “voluntary” standard which advocates a uniform method for determining an amplifier’s RMS power and signal-to-noise ratio. Using 14.4 volts, RMS watts are measured into a 4-ohm impedance load at 1 percent Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) plus noise, at a frequency range (for general purpose amplifiers) of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Signal-to-Noise ratio is measured in weighted absolute decibels (dBA) at a reference of 1 watt into 4 ohms. This applies to both external amplifiers and the amplifiers within in-dash receivers.
