Ok, I have a basic question that I can't seem to find an answer to. My wife has an older work car she uses (06 Highlander). The factory stereo was garb, so I added a basic single-din JVC. This did a couple things. She now has bluetooth (for music and calls) and also the dash kit has a handy little pocket to store her phone. What I didn't plan on was the absolute HUGE improvement in sound...even with the factory speakers. I did choose jvc because I knew their mosfet models are based at 22w rms per channel, which is noticeably better than the average 10-14w most other brands produce. Kenwood is also 22w, I believe.
So here's my question. I'm looking at Pioneer head units, also mosfet, and their website states "22w continuous, 14w rms". I always thought rms and continous were the same thing. All 3 companies list "Max" power as 50w per channel. Does Pioneer have the same power or less than jvc & Kenwood? I like Pioneers interface better and thinking about picking one up for my ol commuter car or one of the mustangs.
