Speaker power outputs

A good amp has 0.001% THD. As far as more watts = more volume goes, its wrong. More watts gives greater control
of the driver so the sound reproduction is more accurate.

Great idea lets redefine physics the get the number you want.

When I drop the clutch on my Harley, as the crank shaft decelerates it must produce about 300 ftlb's of torque, therefore my shitty old 2 valve 88 CI is making 200 HP (for about 1/3000 th of a second).

When I touch myself on my Kawasaki it jumps from 66nm, to a million KW.

Only in reverse.

That's smokeu's problem, he has is amp set to THC.

A common gimmick is to multiply the power rating of all channels to give a big figure. Like a 5.1 system as 6 channels. Front left and right, midle, two rears plus the sub. So take the theoretical maximum power of each channel, divide by six to give you a still inflated true pwer rating pe channel.
Now understand that a quality amp with say 50 watts RMS per channel measured at say .03% Total Harmonic Ditortion will trounce a cheap POS amp rated at half a million watts.

As for speakers and their claimed power handling figures...
