There are technical experts here who can answer your question but for now, you should rest easy knowing that it is much more likely that you would damage your speakers from driving an underpowered amp into clipping than it would be to overpower them.
Determining exact power being sent to your speaker
How does one go about determining the exact amount of power being delivered by the amplifier to the speakers? Let's say the amp delivers 160w/channel at 4ohms (or so the reading materials state anyway) but yet the speaker specs show 120w maximum. My current integrated amp shows the volume
attenuation (dB units) in .5db steps ranging from -100 (min) up to 0.0 (max).
All that said, the concern is when should I be concerned about pushing too much power to the speakers and how I can determine the "Don't turn it up past this number on the display or you will damage the speakers..."
