I should have realized after the first time in this thread that this was going to end poorly...
No, your amp will not instantly clip. The point at which it clips depends on the efficiency of the speaker and the volume that you have selected (and also the input signal itself, as speaker efficiency typically varies with the frequency it is being asked to reproduce). You will cause your amp to clip when you select a level which your speaker requires more wattage to produce than your amp can deliver, as I wrote earlier.

What, exactly, do you think causes clipping? Hint: it's that third item, which you gave "not a chance".
