Could you elaborate on the potential impact of a weak amplifier on speakers? Is it possible for a weak amp to damage the speakers in any way, or is the concern more about subpar sound quality? Additionally, are there any specific factors that can exacerbate the potential for damage, such as the type of speakers or the audio signal being played? Understanding these details would help me assess the risk of using a weak amplifier with my speakers.

When an amplifier is pushed to its limits in an attempt to produce louder sound, it can result in an overload scenario. This overload can have detrimental effects on the audio signal.

One such effect is clipping, where the audio signal becomes distorted due to the amplifier's inability to handle the increased load. Clipping introduces higher amplitude high frequencies that can be problematic.

These high frequencies can easily overload tweeters, the speakers responsible for reproducing the highest audio frequencies. The tweeters' voice coils, which generate the sound, are particularly susceptible to damage from this overload.

Overheating of the voice coils is a common consequence of prolonged exposure to these high frequencies. This can lead to deformation of the coils, reducing their efficiency and ultimately affecting the audio quality.
