Watts is a measure of energy used and is a derivative/result of Ohm's Law. Current, voltage and resistance determine watts. This is ONE reason why great amplifiers are designed to produce "more than adequate" current - to deal with low resistance speakers.Just because an amp/speaker circuit can consume 8 billion watts driving a 2 ohm load doesn't mean that it's louder than an amp/speaker circuit which only consumes 1 billion watts into an 8 ohm load.
And let's not forget the speaker's reactive component.
