I'm guessing your talking car audio, and you mean the speakers have a higher wattage rating than your stereo output. its a good idea not to underpower speakers too much. the sound will be distorted, and you could possible damage the speakers. there are two ratings of wattage for speakers and amps. RMS and Peak watts. always build your system using the RMS wattage. its is the real wattage. the peak is only usefull in the labratory its built in. RMS is is constant ability to put out, or receive that power all the time. The impedence (ohm value) of the speakers is important, it should be the same as the amp.

Things to Consider When Purchasing a Stereo System?

No matter what musical genre you like the best, a stereo system can help to enhance your listening experience. From speakers to amplifiers, stereo systems come in various forms, and it is important to understand the components involved when searching for a stereo system to purchase. While the size of the speakers on a stereo system is important, matching those speakers to the correct amplifier is just as important. Furthermore, bigger is not always better. As sound engineering technology has continued to improve, manufacturers of audio equipment are finding ways to deliver deep, rich sound in a smaller, more compact set of speakers. In the past, one would need to purchase very large speakers that would be housed inside of a cabinet in order to achieve these results. However, today, this is simply not the case. When looking for speakers for a stereo system, it is important to know the wattage they can handle. This will help you to decide which amplifier you will need to use in conjunction with them. Speakers can range in size from a few inches to a few feet in size, so understanding your space requirements is important as well. If you are purchasing speakers for a stereo system for your car, you will need to find the smallest speakers with the largest wattage rating to get the most for your money. If you are purchasing speakers for a stereo system for your home, you may have a little bit more room to pick and choose. In terms of purchasing an amplifier, again, it pays to know how it will correspond to your speakers. If the amplifier has a wattage rating higher than what the speakers can handle, you may risk doing damage to the speakers, the amplifier, or both. You may want to consider asking an expert before purchasing a stereo system to ensure that all of the components will work well together. Finally, consider your power source. If the amplifier will be installed in a car, you may need to purchase a separate battery to power it. However, if the amplifier and speakers are being placed in your home, ensure that your power outlet can handle them before plugging anything in.

What does 2.0 or 2.1 mean when looking at speakers and how does this compare to watts?

2.0 and 2.1 or even 5.1 regarding speakers means that there are 5 speakers to one output device such as the stereo. 2 speakers coming out of 1 stereo or 5 speakers coming out of one stereo.
