RMS is basically the amount of watts that the stereo can continuously dish out and the peak is like the most watts it can give out but only in bursts. And the the amount of channels is how many speakers it can give power too. So basically you can continuously give out 20 watts to each speaker if you have four hooked up to the thing.
