DaHNIC, no. Speakers are generally rated for
peak or
maximum power handling capability. So in your example, your system will still put out a maximum of 180 watts. Your "100-watt" speakers will be able to handle the power that your receiver (head unit) puts out though.
I don't want to create any confusion; please correct me if I am wrong or misinformed.
And DaHNIC (I get what that name means

), your questions are
not stupid questions at all.
