that is a LOT, unless you have a huge room you would never use that kind of power, and if the room is that big you might want 2 CC
base should come out of you sub and your towers speaker, not out of your center channel

Hi there.The important thing to remember is how well matched your amplifier is to your loudspeakers.The impedance of your amplifier should match the impedance of your loudspeakers so if your amplifier has an output impedance of 8 ohms,your speakers also should have an input impedance of 8 ohms.The problem is the speakers impedance is a nominal rating of 8 ohms.meaning the impedance of the speaker will vary throughout the speakers frequency range .It could drop as low as 2 to 3 ohms and rise as high as 40 ohms.Your amplifier must be able to deal with these impedance variations producing the amount of power necessary to drive the speakers at any frequency otherwise audible distortion will occur.Loudness is a perceived audible response and has nothing to do with quality.It depends on speaker efficiency and amplifier output how loud you can hear sound.Loudspeakers all have a minumum and maximum power rating (eg. 20 watts min. to 100 watts max.) Do you know your min. and max ratings?It is best to have an amplifier that can deliver more clean watts to a speaker that has a lower wattage input than a higher one.It is hard to damage a speaker with more watts than less watts. With less watts if you turn the volume up too high you may damage both your amp and you speakers.

You need to know how much wattage your amplifier can supply per channel and at what impedance. If your amplifier is 100 watts per channels at 8 ohms, you need a speaker that is rated for 100 watts average power and is 8 ohms. Don't be fooled by peak power ratings, or amplifiers that simply say 1000 watts.

matters not how many watts the speaker is if you are driving it from a 20 watt amp then its 20 watts! put a thousand watt speaker on there - its still only 20 watts!
