I don't think so.  I had 400 Watts in my last car and there were times when
I wished I could turn it up a little louder.  You make the assumption that
he will be using efficient speakers.  Most speakers designed for car stereos
are pretty efficient but I have yet to hear any that sound good.  Your best
bet is to possibly give up some efficiency and get some good separate
drivers.
