All the time? No. A lot of the time? Yes.

What are you worried about?

Not gonna hurt it. You'll just get the full stated wattage out of it.

Just beware.....the MB800 will output over 1000 watts on sustained burst at 4 ohms. Make sure if you find yourself playing really loud that your cabs can handle it!

True, true. With great power comes great responsibility.

Im just curious plus reliability issues....

I was buying an MB500 ( which i think is enough power ) and end up buying an MB800 for a steal price..

The 4ohm set up is an option that I have but on the safe side 500 watts at Church is good enough ;)

Zero issue. I've been running a variety of SMPS amps rated safely for 4ohm operation HARD at 4ohms for years and years.
