Here is the speaker that is in my MTH Premier F7.
Te recommended speaker for my Soundtraxx board is 3W 8ohm.
Since the MTH speaker is rated 4w 4ohm does that mean I have too much speaker?
Or does it mean I just have specs to spare?

You want 8 ohms or more, 4 ohms can damage your audio amp, if your watts are higher than the spec for the speaker you can damage the speaker. A 4 watt speaker on a 3 amp board is ok, a 3 amp speaker on a 4 watt board can overdrive and damage the speaker. The 4 ohm speaker on a 8 ohm board does the same thing to your audio amp, overdrives it that could lead to damage.
