Where they fall in the market means nothing because all speakers and crossover components have limits to what they can take and a ton of clean power will kill the woofers and/or the crossover caps if they're only rated for 50V. EČ/R=312.5W @8 Ohms- not a super accurate way to determine power handling, but it's close enough for government work. More speakers and high power is a better way to increase the output but that may not be an option. Big speakers would have been better, but....
312 watts... RMS? Continuous? I only highlight that because that kind of continuous power is unlikely and would also indicate peak power levels of 3000 to 10,000 watts. Kinda unlikely.
When people are drunk, all bets are off. It's too bad this kind of system abuse couldn't have been anticipated before the design phase.
Yes. Conversations need to take place.
