Some of these clones seem to blow for no particular reason. I think we primarily must limit the supply voltage, not so much the current under load.
Though they are really good at dealing with variations in supply voltage. The series resistor in the 12v supply could be a solution for a good (non WX)?TDA2822 if you are worried about exceeding the max power dissipation spec at high volume and low load impedance.

Quiescent current into the TDA2822 is around 6ma, peaks can be 1 Amp. Though?100ma might be sufficient for moderate speaker volumes. You would need two resistors for a voltage divider, and maybe waste 500 ma through them to keep the voltage moderately well regulated.
