Thanks for the response to my specific question below. Unfortunately I seem
to get different answers to this question from everyone. Half the people
agree with you.

The other half of the people say an 80W amp supplies 80W to all frequencies
across the audio spectrum. These people say that even if the woofer/mid is
drawing 80W the tweeter can also draw 80W at the same exact time because it is
reproducing different frequencies than the woofer/mid.

I do not know which answer is correct.

OK, but history shows that Mr Pierce usually knows what he is talking
about when he chooses to answer somebody. I would trust him, if I were
you. On the other hand, it is hard to answer your question if we don't
know why you are asking.

Are you trying to determine power handling of woofers and tweeters
respectively?

Per.
