[QUOTE="headless, post: 1976791, member: 566363"] Mansville Smith describes in post #7 what i know/had heard of how clipping effect avg power output... (thus the 'and periods of high current draw' in my first post) -- i had combined this concept with the idea that a speaker would be 'stuck' at the ends of it's excursion for the clipped signals squared duration but it makes sense that it would bounce around some and not be totally still. Nevertheless, bouncing at the end of excursion rather than moving entirely through a wavelength has to make some difference in thermal handling, even if it's not a big one. I do believe that the primary cause of heating is the fact that your RMS wattage goes way up when you try to push a clipped signal...i guess i should take the concept of no cone movement out of the equation for the most part. Thanks for the link, DBfan...it'd been a while since i read that explanation. [/QUOTE]
