Yet they issue driver’s licenses to deaf people.
Raising the intriguing question: is it illegal for a deaf person to drive with headphones on?

Yet they issue driver's licenses to deaf people.
Because deaf peoples other senses are much higher attuned then ours are.
Go to Florid and you can probably find THOUSANDS of drivers with significant hearing loss due to old age.
Again, power in the square wave is twice that of the sine wave, for equal peak values.This assumes a resistive load. I have a feeling that there is a reason speakers have an impedance and not a resistance rating, and a speaker may have a different impedance to the higher hamonics than it does to the fundamental. To truly measure the power delivered by AC to a load, you have to know how much the current's phase angle leads or lags the voltage phase angle. The cosine of that phase difference is known as "power factor" and can be anything from one to minus one.
OMG! This is easily the most nerdy, boring, and intriguing thread I have seen in years. I worked in audio for many years. Clipping from the amp or receiver was the number one reason for blown speakers that I saw. Tweeters typically blow first, since they are most vulnerable to clipped signals. I once saw an Infinity speaker blow its ribbon tweeter into confetti when overdriven by an underpowered receiver.
I am pretty sure the OP will end up with better speakers, regardless of what they buy. Speakers today are far better than they were 21 years ago. I would definitely recommend going to a real car audio shop, or at least the car audio section of a retail store, and listen to some speakers. You still won’t really know how they will sound in the car since car acoustics play a major role in speaker sound. Good luck!!!
