I think where you're getting caught up is in the speaker "power rating". I say that in quotes, because (big secret here) IT DOESN'T MATTER. If you're not dropping a 1000 watt amp on a 200 watt rated speaker, you have nothing to worry about. You're not missing any potential of the speaker by driving it with an amp that does not match the maximum power rating of the speaker. The reason that's on the speaker is so that you don't blow up the thing by driving it with too much power. People get so caught up in the wattage thing, and never stop to think that what they print on the speaker's label has little to do with the actual function of the speaker.
