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.
