Chances are your going to f**k your speakers if the amp is putting too much through them, better to have a little less running through them and have them run forever, than to put a massive amp on them and blow them up!

If the difference is stupidly great, ie. 4 x 250 speakers running through a 4 channel 200 amp, then maybe it might do something to the amp, but i would be very suprised if it did tbh, in all my experience i have found it's safer to run a little bit less than you actually are capable of.

you should only really bridge subs and run sat speakers as normal
