I'm sure this has been answered before but I cannot find it. What are the consequences to your front and rear speakers if the amp you are using for your sub is too small. Because I think I might have blown a couple of speakers because my amp to my sub is too small. Is this possible?

Well, the only way you can kinda "blow" a speaker from underpowering it is crom clipping. Were they component speakers or subwoofers. If their non-subwoofers, than that could be the case, because I think that when an amp sends a square signal (clipped), smaller speakers such as tweeters go first.

I have my MTX Thunder 250x (100W RMS bridged at 4 ohms - Which I now believe is wayyyyyyy to small) powering two 10" MTX Road Thunder Subs (Have no Idea on the specs because I bought them loaded in a road thunder bandpass box, so I THINK they are roud thunder subs all they have on them is simply MTX in red). And the rest of the car is the Mitsubishi factory Infinity sound system. I blew the factory center channel and the factory front door speaker. Thanks by the way for the response.

The component speakers are fine by the way and so are the rest of the speakers besides those that blew. I have now disconnected my amp just in case this may be the reason for the blown speakers.
