Speaker wattage is a measure of the power handling capability of the speaker. This assumes a clean un-clipped signal from the amp. The spec you need is Sensitivity: Sound Pressure Level (in db) with 1 watt input of a 1khz signal measured at distance of 1 meter from the speaker. Highly efficient speakers are going to be around 96/98 db.
If your speaker is rated at 93 db 1watt/1meter, then it will take twice as much amplifier power to run it up to 96 db.
Depending on whether you want your ears to bleed, most speakers will do quite well with 100 watt or so high quality amplifiers. Keep in mind, if you want extreme volumes get a 200/300 watt amp or better to give you the headroom needed to keep signals from clipping and blowing your speakers.
This answer assumes the question was for home stereo.
To run 650 watt speakers effectively, you should consider an amplifier that can provide around 800-1000 watts per channel at the same impedance as your speakers. This ensures headroom for occasional power peaks and prevents overdriving the amplifier. Make sure to match the impedance and power ratings of the amplifier and speakers for optimal performance.

IS 100 watt amp big enough to play shows?
It depends on the size of the venue and the type of music being played. A 100 watt amp could be sufficient for small to medium-sized venues, especially if it is mic'd through a PA system. For larger venues or louder genres of music, a more powerful amp may be needed.

What is equal to 60 watt in CFL?

How big of a load does a 30 amp plug handle on a 40 amp circuit?
A 30 amp plug should only be used on a circuit that is rated for 30 amps to prevent potential overload and safety hazards. Plugging a 30 amp load into a 40 amp circuit could lead to overheating of the wiring and potential fire hazards. It is important to always match the plug amperage with the circuit rating to ensure safe operation.
You are looking for speakers for DJing and you have a 600 Watt amp. What kind of speakers do you buy?
With 600 watts, you can't really go too big, and if you only have one amp, you can't go with separate mids/highs and a sub, so personally, I would try to find a pair of 200 watt speakers that have nice tweeters, mids, and lows, all in one. Don't go for anything over 200 watts each, because you want to leave room on your amp. You don't want to get two 300 watt speakers, because your amp will be working at full power, which isn't good for it or your new speakers. So all in all, a nice pair of 200 watt full range speakers is what I would be looking for.

How big of an amp do you need for two 1200 watt subwoofers?
Depends on what your willing to spend.. For two 1200 watt subs I would go with a 1200 watt amp and run both of then 600 watts ( you don't want to always run subs to full power, because the voice coil might blow or you will light your subs on fire). If your feeling brave you can run a 2000 watt amp 0_o that will annoy your neighbours, but make your car bump!
