[QUOTE="wew lad, post: 8372773, member: 665412"] I completely agree that it could be clipping, and I will not rule that out. However, it doesn't add up to why the same side blew.. I'm not an expert by any means, but I -believe- that I know what clipping sounds like and it wasn't clipping. Albeit loud, there's no clipping. This driver was rated at 200w RMS with a HPF of either 100 or 120hz, and I had it cross at around 100-150 hz (can't tell exactly on the dials) amped by a PAD40004 one of those "clone" amps that do rated power, which is in this case, 200w rms @ 2 ohms. I [B]know[/B] a lot of speakers are over rated, could this be the case and the thermal management of this woofer is not up to par with the 200w claim? [/QUOTE]
