Why does a 400 watt speaker pull to much power from a 60 watt stereo?

Question

Im kinda Noob at this

Answer 1

It doesn't.

The speaker wattage rating has nothing to do with how much power is generated by the stereo. The factors that affect the power outputs are the volume control and the speaker's impedance. A 2-ohm speaker will draw more power from the stereo than a 4-ohm speaker with the same volume setting.

The speaker's power rating is just the highest power level that the speaker is able to handle without being damaged.

If you're wondering why a 60-watt x 4 head unit shouldn't be used with a 400-watt rated subwoofer, it's because the head unit's RMS power rating is closer to 20 watts than 60. Also, head units don't generally have built-in low-pass crossovers for the speaker outputs, so the subwoofer would get the full audio signal and not just the bass. The result is poor sound quality.

Answer 2

Because the amp dosn't have enough to support the power .
