I have a question regarding setting up of a DSP amplifier for a speaker with a lower power rating than the amp. I realize there is the issue of peak powers to deal with, but assuming the objective is to prevent someone blowing the speaker by turning the volume up to maximum. Here's my train of thought:
Amplifier has a 50W rating:

The speaker has a 25W continuous rating
If I make sure the output at the end of the DSP chain is -3dB down from the input, the amplifier should never produce output enough power to blow the speaker.
Do you think this holds up? It feels a bit too simple to be true.
