Amplifier and speaker manufacturers LIE about power ratings.

An amplifier has a power rating for ONE speaker impedance per channel. It might be 200W into 8 ohms.
If you connect two 8 ohm speakers in parallel then their total is 4 ohms then the amplifier will try to produce a total output of almost 400W then blow up (if it does not have an overload protection circuit).
