[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 2997084, member: 549629"] I know what THD is, I was simply asking what you were referring to, as you didnt specifiy. IMO any reasonable sub that is kept within its xmax will not produce anywhere near 20% distortion vs THD. Furthermore, many 'BL optimized' drivers today are capable of producing virtually inaudible distortion up until they reach their xmax limits. At that point, signal distortion is [almost] everything. The key to your initial comment was any amplifier with a 'reasonable' amount of distortion. The same could be said of any subwoofer with a reasonable amount of distortion present. Either component, speaker or amplifier (or any other device in the signal chain) are capable of producing unacceptable levels of distortion, given an unacceptable working condition. Cheers.
