Let me rephrase the response to my earlier message. I was told the earlier CTS 15's were rared at 60 watts rms each . Later cabs with eminence drivers I would rate with a 2" voice coil at 100 watts apiece tho that is an experienced guesstimate. Since Kustom's of the metalface ere were a minimum of 75 watts rms for the 150 series combos and stacks. I plan on using the cabs in qestion with a 300 series PA head rated at 150 watts Rms at 4 ohm load which is what the 2 cabs would run parrallel plugged into that head. Since the 300 came with a 2-15 and horn cab set at 8 ohms I shant worry much overdriving the horns much less the single 15's as those were paired with the 150 heads singly which is what the 300 is simply 2 150's paired together. With newer modern 15"s and a 2" VC I know the eminence in my current Charger is rated at 150 watts RMS and sounded better than a D140F JBL I tried out from another Charger with a bad amp chassis. Thankfully I got lucky and found another amp chassis in good working order and sold the speaker separate for 135 and paid for the good chassis and a spare 15 I already had and rebuilt the Charger and sold it to help pay for a super Blue sparkle 150 Pa with covers and STAND I found. As to the question you posed essentially you are correct except that a crossover splits the signal at a specific frequency point sending all low frequency sound to the woofer and the high frequncy to a tweeter or horn so it is not wholly cumalative.. Only between specific "types" of drivers would power handling be cumalative.Hope that helps you understand
