Using 3 or 4 ohm speakers up loud might cause problems but since most speakers are 8 to 15 ohms there will be no problems. you just get better sound and more of it because larger speakers are usually more efficient so you don't need as much power to give you the volume level you want. By the time you push your sound card hard enought to cause damage the distortion would be so horrible you wouldn't want to listen anyway. Ever turn a cheap boombox up real loud? Enjoy!
