Question about speakers

[UglyCasanova]

I have two speakers that I want to use for my read surround speakers that have a max power rating of 80 watts. My receiver is 100 watts per channel, so will it damage the speakers to use it with this reciever, or is there any way to tone down the power on it?

You need to fuse the speakers.

no.

they will be fine, teh rear speakers dont get the same signal as teh fronts do and as so dont get as loud so overpowering them a lil wont hurt

my rears and center are rated at 80w and my receiver is giveing them 110, they are fine

Ok, thanks.

And if they do explode or whatever, they were just cheapo's I had lying around to begin with.

they wont expload. ive done dumb things to speakers before and never made them expload, ive torn some tho but that was cause i thought it woudl be fun to run 500w through soem really sh!tty speakers just to see,

I'm certainly no audiophile but it is my understanding that you want to avoid the opposite situation...driving 100 watt speakers with an 80 watt receiver. That could cause the receiver to clip and possibly kill your speakers.
