Wattage is not how loud a receiver or amplifier plays.  Wattage
output really gives you an indication of how well a receiver will
"control" or drive a speaker.  Speakers do not have watts.  They
have a wattage rating for their power handling capabilities.  Now
there are many variations but typically you do not have to concern
yourself with the ratings on today's speakers.  Speakers today
are getting more and more alike...  the ratings are difficult to
verify if at all possible.

The bottom line here is that the 300watt rating is about how much
the speaker can receive and you have to either accept the rating
provided by the manufacturer or not.   I cannot tell the difference
between 300watt & 60watt speakers on a computer...

Personally, I would be more concerned that the customer is prying
open the components and that he has violated the warranty on the
speakers.
