What does the wattage mean on car speakers and stereos?
I have 4 new speakers rated at 300W max output. The stereo is rated at 50Wx4. Does this mean that at the maximum volume level on the stereo I am only using 1/6 of the speaker's capacity?
This does not seem right because when the stereo level is halfway to maximum the speakers are extremely loud. They are not exactly high-end so I don't expect that 4 car speakers could blast at a volume 12 times higher.
What is the correct relationship between these wattage ratings?
