Some folks think that if they use a power 
amplifier whose power rating is below 
the maximum power-handling rating of 
the loudspeaker, then they can’t possibly 
damage the loudspeaker. But if the amplifier 
is driven into clipping, even a lower power 
amplifier can damage the loudspeaker.
The bottom line is that to prevent 
damage to the loudspeakers, you must 
have a properly operating sound system. 
Proper operation of a sound system includes 
being aware of the types of audio signals 
being reproduced, controlling the output 
levels accordingly, and operating all the 
devices in the system so that no clipping 
occurs within the signal chain.
