Generally,a speaker with a 175 watt rating means that it can be used with an amp of that power playing unclipped music.The average to peak ratio of music is 10-20 db,so in reality the speaker would only see 1.75-17.5 watts RMS,with the amp at the clipping point. Fortunately,most of that power is in the lower frequencies,so the tweeter will not see very much of it.Anyone care to put a 17.5 watt sine wave into your tweeters? Do so at your own risk,because most will die with that or less power.I think many people would be very dissapointed if they knew how little power their tweeters will handle,despite a large power rating for the system.
