In its dreams. CEA 2006 (new standard) power rating for that bad boy is probably around 12-18 wpc.

The thing about regular speakers is they play all levels of sound, so no sound range is as clear as it could be. With components the tweeter plays the highs, and the door speaker only plays the mid and the lows, thus offering more clarity with less distortion.

This is true to a degree. Coaxial speakers also have two separate drivers, but they share the same "housing." The tweeter in a typical coax speaker is mounted on a pole piece in the middle of the woofer cone. I prefer components because the midbass is more solid in a component woofer than in a coax. This is for two reasons; one being that their isnt a large hole (costing precious surface area) in the middle of the woofer cone, and two, there isnt a pole piece affecting the imaging of the woofer.
