Will it cause problems that my front speakers only need 20 rms and get 50 rms from my amp?

No, just set your gains correctly, you should be ok.

As stated above.....don't turn the gain up. At full tilt you run the risk of blowing your speakers.

That amp doesnt do rated anyways. Set your gains properly with an O-Scope or DMM and you will be fine.

Whats the fuse rating on that thing? I cant find anything on Google.

EDIT- There is no gain setting on the HU. Your referring to the bass/treble. Those should be set at 0/flat as well as the Loud setting if it has one. We are referring to the gains on the amp. The amp should be set with 0 Bass boost on as well.

Leave the gains all the way down more then likely will be ok. Music is dynamic so only on a musical peak at full tilt would your amp deliver 50w for a split second to the speakers. You'd be surprised how little wattage your speakers are actually getting on an average.
