This does not follow the rule between RMS power per channel [actually related to volume output] being half of the PMPO [A/C rules]. For usual two-in-one amps, RMS power [that you hear] is usually 1/20th of rated [read advertised] PMPO. For mini component systems it is close to 1/17th and for maxi/midis [stereo channels 2 only, no surround]. The mercury speakers at 300 W PMPO are actually 300 / 2 per channel = 150 150/20 ~ 7.5 watts per channel, as a rule of thumb.
