If high sound levels aren't required, that might not be true.
Assuming that each setup won't be pushed to distortion, decent
speakers driven by 15 watts per channel RMS will probably sound
better than so-so speakers driven by 40 watts per channel RMS.

It's the midbass that suffers ... the head unit just won't kick up
enough brass to maintain a solid level of sound across the frequency
spectrum. Remember that you will have the head unit up near max
volume levels to acheive 15W. Distortion will be just mad.

I think that most aftermarket HUs have enough power to make decent,
efficient good-quality speakers sound good, assuming that high sound
levels aren't necessary. All the power in the world won't make
inferior speakers sound good.

IOW, more power can't make a speaker with poor frequency response
sound good.
