I any case the equipment is either 5 10 or 20 W

The matching of power ratings between amp and speakers is not a precise science.
Loudspeaker distortion is not as unpleasant as amplifier clipping so I prefer to err on the side of having a beefier amp (within reason). Any modern amp will have protection circuitry that cuts the output in the event of an internal fault, so the chances of the speakers bursting into flames is not worth worrying about.

Either way it will probably distort the sound so you will no doubt turn the volume back down anyway.

[/quote]Would there be any issue in attaching the new speakers cable to the old and therefore having extra long wire. And should each speaker have the same length wire.
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.
