It will have the potential to over drive the speaker elements and can cause distortion and potential speaker damage.

Can a 1200 watt amp power a 300 watt box?
yes it can
Can you hook a 200 watt amplifier to a 120 watt sub woofer?
Yes it should be all right. Ratings for amp/speakers are approximate but as a rule it is preferable for the speaker to be rated higher than the amp.
What happens to a 200 watt speaker with a amp that pushes 240 watts?
the speaker will be pushed past its farthest flex point and it will eventually start tearing the actual speaker and will break
What wire size needed for 120 volt 3000 watt load?
AWG # 10 wire on 30 amp circuit.
How big of amp to run 650 watt speakers?
Speaker wattage is a measure of the power handling capability of the speaker. This assumes a clean un-clipped signal from the amp. The spec you need is Sensitivity: Sound Pressure Level (in db) with 1 watt input of a 1khz signal measured at distance of 1 meter from the speaker. Highly efficient speakers are going to be around 96/98 db. If your speaker is rated at 93 db 1watt/1meter, then it will take twice as much amplifier power to run it up to 96 db. Depending on whether you want your ears to bleed, most speakers will do quite well with 100 watt or so high quality amplifiers. Keep in mind, if you want extreme volumes get a 200/300 watt amp or better to give you the headroom needed to keep signals from clipping and blowing your speakers. This answer assumes the question was for home stereo.
Will it sound bad if you use a 400 watt speaker with a 300 watt amp?
No, that's just the maximum capacity of the speakers. You can always run them at less than their maximum rating.
Can a 1200 watt amp power a 300 watt box?
yes it can
What is louder sub on 300 watt amp 10'' 300 watt or 10'' 600 watt?
They can be as loud, as the amp is not delivering 600 watts. The 10" sub rated at 600 watts is able to withstand more power.
Can a twin 300 watt speaker destroy a 250 amp?
I am not a sound man but an electrician. But as I understand it, speakers only receive power. So if you connect 300 watt speakers to a 250 watt amp, you can only get 250 watts out of the speakers. If this understanding is correct, this could not blow your amp. I might say, however, that in most things electrical, they are not intended to be used at maximum output for very long. So if this understanding stays true with sound equipment, then running your 250 watt amp at maximum output in an attempt to get 300 watts out of it, this could shorten the life of your amp even though you never actually overload it.
Can a 1200 watt amp power a 1300 watt sub?
It's actually a good idea to have a speaker that can handle higher wattage than the amp can produce.
Can you blow out your speakers if you use the wrong power amplifier?
Speakers can be blown if the wrong power amplifier is used and damage can be done by either overpowering or underpowering the amp. For example, if the power rating of the speaker is 300 watts capacity you will need a 300- to 600-watt amp.
Can you use a 52 watt stereo with 1000 watt speakers?
sure you can, your amp will only deliver 52 watts to the speaker, more importend would be the impedance of the speaker . it should be equal to what your amp has! may be 8 ohms
Can you use a 600 watt amp on a 300 watt speaker?
AS long as the impedance is a match you can use any speake with any amp. But if the power ratings are too mismatched don't expect it to sound that good. If the amp is stronger than the speaker, the speaker can be damaged if you crank the amp up high. And if you hook an amp to a too strong speaker the amp might have trouble powering it properly.
Will a 3000 watt generator power a 15 amp circular saw?
Yes, you can use up to 25 amps on a 3,000 watt generator.
How big an amp should I use to power 500 watt speaker PA monitor?
1000W will be suitable. See the specifications of speaker.
1200 watt wiring kit suitable for a 800 watt amp and 1100 watt sub not sure whether this would have a effect on the cables?
1200 Watt wiring is more than enough for an 800 Watt amp. The rating of the sub doesn't make any difference to the cables. If you want to use the sub to its rated power you should get a bigger amp. If the amp can only give out 800 Watts and the sub can take 1100 Watts then you can put a bigger amp on. It is still going to be loud as with an 800 Watt amp. I have a 300 watt amp with a 1200 Watt sub and people hear me coming.
Will 760 watt 2 channel amp power two 300 watt sub woofers?
Yes, but the amp is too powerful and if turned up to full volume will blow the speakers.
