You missed my point with a margen of 2 3/4 furlong: my point is that the
resistor powerhandling is chosen so as to make the resistor protect the
loudspeaker unit(s) that get their signal through it.
I don't buy that at all. Since when does a resistor, even of a much
lower value than the speaker it's in series with, "protect" a speaker?
It's not a fuse; the resistor is just going to generate heat,
potentially lots of it, and possibly char the surrounding cabinetry
before going "poof".
If one wanted to protect a speaker, a fuse would be the way to do it,
not a lower-wattage resistor.
