Can 10 individual 5-watt speakers create as many decibels of sound as one 50-watt speaker?

In simplistic terms, yes. Speaker coupling can yield a decibel gain but individual driver efficiencies and the enclosure design will also come in to play. The principle is that you can get an overall db gain by aligning the drivers in a plane. This is why sound reinforcement systems use arrays of aligned drivers.
