Q. How many watts is good for DJ speakers?

Answer

Depending on its build quality and intended use, a typical DJ speaker may withstand up to 300–400 watts RMS of continuous power before breaking. If it is an indoor show, a good rule of thumb is to aim for about five watts per audience member. Of course, if plan on playing loudly in an open area or during a "rave," someone will want to quadruple it to 5 watts per person. Because of this, it's crucial to avoid pushing amplifiers to their limits, since doing so may cause distortion of the audio signal and degrade the quality of the sound output. Additionally, DJing is allowed at Pirate, and the volume may be set to liking.
