Lonman is correct, a mismatched system (too high or too low) will cause the speakers to blow. If you take a very small amp and run it full volume into some high rated speakers the distortion he spoke of causes the coil to overheat and burn out or the coil shorts out against the magnet. If you run a big amp full volume through some low rated the speakers, the speakers will over extend and a lead will break or the cone will tear blowing the speaker.

There is alot to "powered sound" which makes it hard to explain everything in a brief post.

Thanks for the backup guys!
