what aside from laws and fines is stopping me from hooking my 80W

What is stopping you?

Well, the laws of physics for one, but you're welcome to give it a
try. You'll find enforcement of those laws is pretty strict. :-)

Hehe. Well yeah, I figured as much, but why doesn't it work? Too high
impendance? Why is that something the amp can't handle, if I maybe resist
the urge to crank it up to eleven?

I'm approaching the issue from the engineering perspective, but I don't
have much knowledge in this particular field. If you can enlighten me I'd
be much obliged.
