RMS- root mean square, basically its the a truer measurement of the products power rating. Think of it as the manufacturers recommendation for continual use. Many products may boast enormous power figures in just watts, sometimes even up to 10 times the actual rms. But if the product was consistently run at this level it would crap itself pretty quick and die. The rms is how many watts the product should be run up 2 on a daily basis, and watts are peak power.

You should look at a products rms rather than its wattage, and try to pair subs and amps that have a similar rms rating to each other.
