I'm not sure how to interpret this question. The actual wattage of a driver is the amount of power that is supplied to it. But if what you are asking is what is the maximum power handling capability of a driver, the AES standard I referred to defines that on the basis of average power, which is often incorrectly referred to as RMS power.
