So if you send square waves to a speaker that rolls off at frequency f,
then all the Fourier components of that square wave above frequency f
will be expressed purely as heat. All the heat adds up, and you
can - emphasis *can* - roast a driver that way.

If this is the mechanism, couldn't it happen even with a "matched"
speaker (i. e. not rated above the amp power) if you drive the amp
into clipping?

Yes.

ANYBODY stupid enough can "Blow Up" anything if they try hard enough!
I am NOT one of the stupid.

I built cabs with RADIO SHACK (TM) drivers in them.

But that dates me, as they don't sell raw drivers anymore... AFAIK.

Radio Shack Speakers :) I used them too, bought an 215 Ampeg cabinet
and a 215 Fender cabinet for next to nothings as well as to Community
4896 bins, they were all empty and I had to put something in them The
Radio Shack Speakers, Utah's were the brand name and to be honest I
don't think they make them anymore.
