How do I match amp wattage to speakers?

Generally you should pick an amplifier that can deliver power equal to twice the speaker's program/continuous power rating. This means that a speaker with a “nominal impedance” of 8 ohms and a program rating of 350 watts will require an amplifier that can produce 700 watts into an 8 ohm load.

How do I calculate speaker wattage?

Multiply the amperage and the volts to find the max wattage.

Take the speaker's voltage and multiply it by the amperage to get a rough estimate of the maximum wattage. For example, if your speaker has 120V and 5A, multiply these numbers together to get 600 watts.
