Can? One word: TOTAL.
How much WILL it cause? Impossible to say without specifics. It will sound like crap, that's enough of a reason to avoid it for me...

I wonder how many amps are clipping at full volume. I hear all amps clip, some gracefully more than others. Quality speakers i'm sure helps. Some clipping can be inaudible.
what do you mean by full volume? there are different variables that'll cause an amp to clip.
clipping occurs when you try to drive an amp past what it is made to put out and sends out a squared soundwave, so if you have a 200 watt amp and are trying to make it put out 500, it'll clip
i'm a noob - how would i know when an amp is clipping? what would i hear?
