normally says on the back of the speaker, you could also check with the manufacturer

Well I checked the website and all they list is peak... I imagine it's more than mine.. Cuz the speakers I have now are Clarion and I'm upgrading to larger Clarion. The ones I have are 130 peak and 40 rms. The ones I'm get are 350 peak so I imagine the rms is around 100...

I don't know how accurate this is, but in my case, if you can power to the speakers max, your rms will be covered, but if your max on your deck is the rms for the speakers you won't get very good sound.

ITs perfectly fine to underpower a speaker as long as you dont go so loud that it causes distortion in the speaker. Dont worry about the peak and if you want to look i would say you should check out the CEA (im pretty sure thats who it is) that makes the standard for speakers...kinda like EPA but unlike it it actually works lol if its CEA certified it can handle what it says and im pretty sure they will list the info for the speakers on a website probably. if the clarion brand is listed on Crutchfeild they will tell the RMS since they test the speakers in house.
Power isnt so important as long as the speakers have a high sensitivity.

why do you want to find other speakers if the clarions are only 80 rms?
