If you have a 100 watt amp can you just have two 50 watt speakers instead of a 100 watt speaker?

Maybe.
The real question comes down to the resistance of the output on the amp vs. the resistance of the speakers. You'll have to do a little math and understand the difference between series and parallel wiring. Throw back to high school physics.
When you're wiring something in series the resistances are added. So, if you have two 8 ohm speakers the total resistance is 16 ohms. If the output resistance on the amp is 16 ohms, you're in good shape, but don't crank it or it definitely will blow.
When you wire a parallel circuit you use the formula 1/RT=(1/R1)+(1/R2). Again, if both speakers are 8 ohms then it's 1/RT=(1/8)+(1/8). With a little math you get 4 ohms. This is WAAAAAAAY different from 16 ohms. Turn that 16 ohm amp on now and those speakers will turn into a fun light show, but they'll be toasted. Throw some butter on it and you've got breakfast.

Will it sound bad if you use a 400 watt speaker with a 300 watt amp?
No, that's just the maximum capacity of the speakers. You can always run them at less than their maximum rating.
What size of speakers are available for the Rockford Fosgate speaker line?
They have 12" and 120-150 watt.
If you buy a 180 watt sterio and want four speakers do you need to buy 45 watt speakers?
Yes. That would be the ideal wattage. When if comes to watts you don't want to wire speakers to a system that will push more wattage than they can handle. Think of watts as an amount of power. If you push more power through to the speakers than they can handle than you'll blow them. Example: [Stereo]-----60watts------>[Speaker with 45 watt capacity] = Not good. You can wire a speaker with a higher wattage capacity than what the stero will put out. Example: [Stereo]-----60watts------>[Speaker with 60 watt capacity] = Good. Example: [Stereo]-----60watts------>[Speaker with 75 watt capacity] = Good too.
How do you do you change a stock speakers in a 1996 Breeze to 300 watt speakers?
You will need to take off the panels covering the speakers, then you will unscrew the speaker and take it out, after that you will need to unplug the adapter from the back of the speaker and cut off the adapter at the end of the speaker wires, then just attach your little plugs to the end and plug it into the back of your new speakers. Screw everything back in and put your panels back up.-Shocker
If you mix a 1000 watt speaker with a 2500 watt speaker will they make a 3500 watt speaker?
No.
Can you use a 52 watt stereo with 1000 watt speakers?
sure you can, your amp will only deliver 52 watts to the speaker, more importend would be the impedance of the speaker . it should be equal to what your amp has! may be 8 ohms
Can you use a400 watt speaker with150 watt amp?
You can, but the problem is your speakers will not give their optimal sound quality because your Amplifier is too weak for the speakers. So,buy an amplifier with an output power rating high then 400w.
What is the largest watt speaker I can put in the trunk of my hatchback?
you can buy speakers from Polk Audio that are rated at 100 watts a piece.
Can you use 2x500 watt subs on a 600 watt amp?
Absolutely!! If you turn up the gain too much, the speakers will smoke. You can use it at a lower level
What is the best speaker you can get?
Any electronic staff offers speakers. It all depends on which type of speaker and what watt you need for it. I would suggest going into a store such as future shop and asking for their personally opinions.
Can you hook a 200 watt amplifier to a 120 watt sub woofer?
Yes it should be all right. Ratings for amp/speakers are approximate but as a rule it is preferable for the speaker to be rated higher than the amp.
What speaker match to 500 watts amp?
All car speakers will go well with a 500 Watt amp, but for the best effect, get a power subwoofer.
