Default MB Quart users or anyone who might know

So I installed my RSD 216, 6.5 comp set. I have a Ecplise 50x4 amp running these. So the RMS on these from manufacture is 60-100w, is this going to work with 50w?
Basically I fucked up and didn't notice it since I never really worried about power since I have a 50x4. Will this cause any problems?

I had MB Quarts reference series 6.5 speakers in the rear with 25W power from the amp and was fine. (JL amp 100W front, 25W rear, 250W sub )

so yeah you'll be fine.

Usually, Eclipse amps put out a little more than whats printed so I wouldn't worry about it. Only thing you should worry about is clipping. What kind of radio are you using and how many volts is the preouts? If your preout voltage is like 2Volts or something you'll need to compensate by turning you gain up on the amp. If your radio has like 4Volts or more, don't turn your gain up past about 25%. If you have a nice digital multimeter, you can actually measure the speaker level outputs on the amp w/the radio volume up around 80% and turn the gain up slowly until the meter doesn't move up anymore. That way you'd avoid clipping as much as possible. Sorry if this was so damn long but I tend to blab
