Thank you very much for the detailed explanation.  It really cleared up the 
subject for me.  As you can see, I'm new in the field of audio. Hell, I'm 
only 17.  But I'm learning from people like you.
I have another question.  When your amp clips, how can you tell?  I mean, on 
my dad's stereo, it was easy to tell because it has two lights that say 
"Clipping."  Hahah, not too hard to figure out, but on my cheap lil amp, it 
has nothing.  So do i just listen for audio distortion?  But then how can I 
tell if it's the amp clipping or the speakers being overloaded?
