Parallel 6ohm 60w drivers - 3ohm 167w/channel amp.
I'm considering hooking up two sets of 5.1, 6 ohm, 60 watt drivers in parallel to my 3 ohm, 167 watt per channel amp. This leaves a 47 watt overhead. Should I be concerned about turning the amp volume too high? I'm not very knowledgeable about the relationship between speaker and amp watt ratings. The 'amp' is a Sony BDVE870 home theater system.
These are the specs of the Klipsch 5.1 speakers.

ohm 6
0.75" microtractrix high freq horn tweeter
3" woofer
Subwoofer
6th order bass reflex
