Whats the differance between a 1 and 2 channel amplifier?

it is the rating for the amount of power it takes to get to a certain volume level,the higher the rating, the less power it takes to reproduce x amount of sound
this does not mean one driver is louder than the other it is just one of the many figures you can use to evaluate different drivers
p.s. alot of manufactures are not honest about this number.
