Newbie question on wattage rating of speaker drivers


Iam looking to build my fronts/centers/rears for my ht. Im going to start with the fronts but I also want to be able to use them for music too. I do have a paradigm PDR10 sub that works great so I will keep that in the HT.

My question is: Alot of designs that I looked at for HT and also music show specs on speakers around the 50 watt rms area. My thinking is: If you were to build for example a 3 way WMT system using Oh, a 100 watt reciever wouldnt you run the risk of blowing drivers? One build I saw showed drivers rms of around 50 or so and were qouted as being able to handle 300 watts after building the speakers. How is that possible?

Thanks in advance for helping a newbie.
