    You should not run into any problem. But you should know what to listen for. If your speakers are distorting, they will be damaged

    My center channel speaker is rated at 60-watts RMS and I am driving it with 180-watts RMS power. My amp is NOT turned down, its about 2/3s of the way up and no low pass filter. I listen to my music pretty loud. That speaker has been playing well for 4 to 5 years

    But make sure your listening to your music, if it doesn't sound natural you're probably doing damage to your speakers.

    Correct me if Im wrong, but the specs you just listed are saying that for one single channel (one speaker) it will be supplying 50W RMS. It CAN go to 150W on this channel but only for very short times and only at very high amplitudes, ie bass hits on max volume. You will only see this if you are using high quality wiring and connections. Your speakers are rated for 300W max, so you have plenty of room. I just typed all this and realized your probably going to bridge the connections though haha. Even in that case, as the above stated, you'll be fine.
