Have a nice day.
No I didn't.

A 1000 watt amplifier would not work with speakers rated for 40 watts? Of course it would, until you turn the amp up beyond what the speakers can handle you overheat the voice coil and and blow the speaker. Likewise, a 20Watt amp will ruin a high wattage 'rated; speaker by providing a crappy signal (clipping, square wave) at high volume, causing a speaker to destroy itself trying to reproduce a distorted signal. Hook up a 9 volt battery to a speaker and see out unhappy the speaker voice coil gets.

Point is, consumer car stereo power specs are all about marketing. Power ratings get everyone's attention....alway have.
