Ok...here it goes...
When you underpower speakers you run into having you amp "clipping" or otherwise known as peaking out. When that happens and the amp clips it pretty much turns your voice coils on your speakers into heater coils. When you over power (the best is about 10-15 for components) your amp won't clip and all that it does is push the speakers more. I've messed up alot of speakers underpowering them...pretty much you'll burn them out...and yes by overpowering you can blow them...but at that volume you will start to get hearing losses. Alot of JL subs can be powered about 100 watts over and take the abuse quite nicely.
