Power question for Amp and PA speaker?

I got a speaker for my PA system that is rated at Maximum Power of 50 Watts and a Power Handling of 25 Watts. The box said it needed an amp. I have a amp that I don't know much about other than it says 200 Watts. Does that mean it won't work for the speaker I purchased?

Answer:

it will work but because the amp has more power than the speaker can handle it will blow the speaker if you turn it up much, the speaker should be rated for more or equal to the power output of the amp. the ohm rating of the amp should always be less than or equal to the speaker. 4ohm amp-4ohm or more speaker, 8ohm amp-8ohm or more speaker. never hook a speaker with less ohms than the amps rated ohms or you will blow the amp.8ohm amp + 4ohm speakerblown amp
if you were my neighbor then i suggest 2 watts, please.
No it doesn't. You PA is rated at 50 watt max. Amp is rated at 200 watts. It will work.
