"Some manufacturers publish a measure of total system power, which is actually a way to add up the watts per channel to reach a total." Remember when reading amplifier power output the PEAK power rating is an advertising number they picked out of test's they run on there systems, basically PEAK power if the max amount of power in a microsecond they were able to push through the device, however in real life operation this means nothing since you are looking to push a consistent amount of power through your system. Read what's known as the RMS ratings of the devices for the real consistent power outputs of amplifiers and subwoofers.
