This isnt really a matter of opinions, its a matter of fact. Underpowering a speaker CANNOT EVER cause it to blow. If you want to see all the evidence to back this up I believe there is a sticky under the car audio section of the forum under the title "underpowering Blowing speakers?" or something to that effect.double-secret reverse-osmosis speaker-cone-induced high-level interference distortion, Its a killer

The only problem with under powering speakers comes when people start cranking the gain to compensate.
