		 The speakers from your old system may be much less efficient than the ones that came with the mini system. Check (using same source material) the volumn knob position for a given sound level on both speaker systems.  
 
If the volumn has to be much higher for the old speakers, you may have a problem. Use your hand and check for cabinet or heat sink heat the first time you play something that is continuously loud (rock music?) every 2 minutes. If it amp is getting very warm after a few minutes, you might have a problem. 
 
It would be nice to know the RMS safe output per channel of the amp. 
 
Make sure the amp can breath. Don't restrict the air flow to it.
