Ohm's Law
I found this and figured id post it here in case anyone was interested
Ohm's Law defines the relationships between (P) power, (E) voltage, (I) current, and (R) resistance. One ohm is the resistance value through which one volt will maintain a current of one ampere.
( I ) Current is what flows on a wire or conductor like water flowing down a river. Current flows from points of high voltage to points of low voltage on the surface of a conductor. Current is measured in (A) amperes or amps.
( E ) Voltage is the difference in electrical potential between two points in a circuit. It's the push or pressure behind current flow through a circuit, and is measured in (V) volts.
( R ) Resistance determines how much current will flow through a component. Resistors are used to control voltage and current levels. A very high resistance allows a small amount of current to flow. A very low resistance allows a large amount of current to flow. Resistance is measured in ohms.
( P ) Power is the amount of current times the voltage level at a given point measured in wattage or watts
Thank you the12volt.com
here's the link, its got all kinds of stuff on there including a calculator

RE: Ohm's Law
The name of this thread is "Ohm's Law" but you forgot to actually state the law
V = IR
I = V/R
R = V/I
Voltage through a load multiplied by the current through a load will yeild Power [in Watts].
P = I*V
I'm an electrical engineer by degree and profession, and an audio/video guru by experience. I worked in 12Volt electronics for along time, and this sometimes proved usefull, but continuity meters proved more usefull in the land of 12V.

thats correct. but if u dont mutyply the number by 0.707 it wont give u the true RMS. it will give u the max power
please repost if im wrong. thx

(old post I know...but I just signed up recently, was browsing around and stumbled across this).
Also being a EE...I wrote up a little article on electronics that someone may find handy (or may not, but hey is there a such thing as too much information! )

Ohms Law
Ok so Im looking at a rockford amp that is one channel. It has 1000rms at 1 ohm, 750rms at 2 ohm and 500rms at 4ohm. If I want 1000rms at 1 ohm what kind of rockford sub will I be looking for? All I see are specs for 2 and 4 ohms. If I run the amp at 1 ohm does that mean that Ill get 1000rms out of a sub that has 1000 watts max?
THANKS
THANKS
