The advantage of greater wattage is the potential volume boost and better tone quality and coverage at lower volumes. Less than square feet will be covered with a pair of watt speakers.
For to square feet , look for to watt speakers. To cover over square feet use two tops of watt and a watt subwoofer. Mean power, or root mean square RMS power handling, refers to how much continuous power the speaker can work. The peak power handling rate refers to the highest power level that the speaker can use in short bursts. For example, a speaker with a 50W RMS rating but a peak rating of W means that the speaker can easily run with 50 watts of continuous power, with occasional bursts of up to W.
A good speaker for a small house party can have 50 watts if the dance floor is tiny. This one will more likely bring the police than chasing all the people out of the room with poor sound. The JBL provides more bass and has a bass boost button. Both of them put out watts of continuous power watts peak. Something like that should also do it for you. The only other tip I have is — when stepping up to full-sized speakers, make sure you have high-quality audio files.
The Yorkville Sound Paraline series are foolishly great speakers. The most vital reason I use them is how effective they are. When you only have watts of electrical power, you want to choose your speakers thoughtfully. I did a lot of digging, and these seemed to be the most sound for the least amount of power.

We'll discuss: Why should I get an amplifier? Adding power to a factory stereo system How much power do aftermarket speakers need? How many channels should my amp have? Our recommendation is 50 watts per channel factory system should be good enough and can work well with not so efficient speaker as well less than 90db and still give really quality audio experience.
On an average watts RMS is pretty good depending on the size your vehicle. This segment will try to clear out some of the common doubts regarding wattage of car stereo. Most of us have come across speakers that sound fine at low volumes but tend to distort at high volumes. Higher volume means the speakers are asking the amp for more power.
If it is unable to provide enough, your speakers will start to distort. However, we need to make sure that the high capacity amps are accompanied with matching high capacity speakers. Thus, another thing you need to consider when purchasing an after-market amplifier plus speaker unit for your car stereo is power-handling. This allows you to know the amount of power, usually measured in watts that the amp-speaker duo is capable of handling.
If you drive a small sized vehicle a hatchback, for instance , speakers with a top RMS rating of at least 50 watts RMS to go along with the amp is good enough. For larger vehicles like an SUV and for those who just want more energy volume , you should look out for at least a 75 watts RMS per channel setup. For those who want to go even higher, you can go for an amp with watts RMS or more per channel. In any case if you are adamant, you can go for it. Get speakers which are rated at top RMS output power for each channel.
But please, use with moderation.
