Hello.
I have vintage JBL 15" woofers and considering of buying an amp for these woofers.
But I'm having hard to understanding the output of these woofers,
So, I'd like some advice on how much output wattage to buy.
Woofer list
- JBL 2032H 500W
- JBL 2225H 400W continuous program
- JBL 2226H 600W AES continuous pink noise
1) JBL 2032H 500W
The detailed specifications of this woofer are not available now, but I saw the following word in some JBL official document.
2032H 15” woofer used in MR Series and 4655, 500W
But I don't know what 500W means here.
Are these values AES standard? Is it RMS standard? Or does it PEAK?
2) JBL 2225H 400W continuous program
I searched google for terms such as rms, program, and continuous power, but I rarely use the term "continuous program".
But by this continuous program, is it a program? Or does it mean continuous power?
If continuous program = RMS, is the 2225H 400W (RMS), 800W (Program), 1,200W (Peak) correct?
3) JBL 2226H 600W AES continuous pink noise
JBL 2226H 600W AES product below, it is difficult to accurately compare AES and RMS,
If it's a 600W AES, can I think of it as roughly 500W RMS?
Thanks for reading and waiting for answer.
