" it doesn't make much sense to get to caught up in wattage when talking about different speakers. You've got to consider the sensitivity of the speakers and how they respond to power. A speaker rated 90dB sensitivity will produce that ear damaging 90dB at 1 meter off a single watt. A lot of the best speakers and amplifiers in the world might only be running 10W, but they are sensitive speakers with massive old school class A amps. A speaker with +3dB sensitivity would make twice as much sound energy off the same wattage, and at +10dB sensitivity the speaker would sound twice as loud.
All of that is to say that wattage specs don't matter as much as most people think, and certainly it's not a good way to compare speakers without a lot more information."
If you are using them with a computer, then you would just use the subwoofer output on the motherboard or soundcard.
If you are using it off speaker cable, then you'd just get a subwoofer with speaker level inputs.
If you are using them off RCA's, then you just get a y-splitter and send one feed to the sub.
