I have 2 180 watt speakers that I have in my room and i wanna set them up but i need a stereo receiver and i was gonna get a 200 watt stereo because that should be good for 180 watt speakers or do i have to get a 400 watt stereo cause i have 2 speakers, or will a 200 watt stereo feed both my speakers 200 watts?
The speakers are rated at 180 watts, meaning that would be the most they can handle safely. Beyond that amount, heavy distortion and damage can occur. If you get a 200 watt stereo or receiver, you have to look at how that is spread over the number of channels (outputs) 100 x 2, 50 x 4. The more power you have the louder and harder you can drive the speakers. More power- less volume (volume knob on low). Less power-more volume needed (turn volume up).
Since you share so little in the way of specifics, you make it difficult to help you.
It REALLY would have helped had you told us the make and model of your speakers. Without that, I cannot help you, as many companies use grossly inflated rating for the wattage that their speakers can take. So, it's quite possible that what you have are really 50 or 60 watt max speakers.
