A 50 watt, 8 ohm speaker requires 20 volts to drive it to full power. Watts equals volts and amps, while volts equals amps times ohms.

However, the 8 ohm rating is actually a minimum rating, and depends on frequency. Also, driving a speaker to full power on a continuous basis is not good for the speaker. (Or for the ears, either.)

A speaker runs on the audio power supplied by the amplifier. The typical peak power is 100 times the average power, and loud music in a room that can be heard out on the street is usually an average audio power of about ¼ watt.
