But Doug, you didn't really answer his question: "Why would you want more wattage in your car than in your house?"

My answer is that your home stereo doesn't have to compete with engine and road noise.

Also, when you're driving alone in your car, you tend to listen to the music louder than you would at home because your spouse/child/neighbors aren't present.

Question: Do home speakers have a different load (in ohms) than car speakers?
