Depending on the details of the driver construction the voice coil might pop out of the gap. Depending on the details of the driver the metal cone might get hot during sustained high power use. Wrinkled and split cones are not beyond the realms of possibility but are not what would normally be expected from too much power.
Speakers don't have 'stops'
Overdriving leads to blown or distorted voicecoils. Beer leads to ripped cones.

'Stops' as in the cone/voice coil bobbin hitting the magnet/basket assembly.
