I have 4 alpine speakers rated at 30 watts rms and an amp rated at 40 watts rms and was wondering if this is bad for the speakers? Or should it be fine?
Thanks

Heat is the great killer of subs and speakers. Overpowering them can create more heat, but not near as much as clipping will. For reference, a 100 watt speaker will live longer with 125 watts of clean power than 75 watts of clipped power. Seeing as Alpine is anything but overrated, I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and say you won't have any trouble at all with those speakers.
