What ratio of power in tri-amp system ?


In order to better utilize equipment , is there a formula or chart somewhere that recommends what wattage power amp should be used for each power amp in a three way system ? I realize that crossover points and speaker component's individual performance spec's would cause great variation , but is there some kind of rule of thumb for a starting point ? Is this too vague a question ? I have a PA system with separate cabinets for all speakers and would like to know whether I have enough power for the speakers or need to get more speakers for the power .

This article gives some formulas, along with others on the site. Input gains being matched along with proper power output matching are the key criteria along with each drivers sensitivity in order to get a flat frequency response across the band. The other articles might help.
