[QUOTE="Haunz, post: 6756959, member: 576010"] Most people listen to music, and I guess you might double average output with clipping and compression... this is what I suppose I might agree with, although I think most people would be hard pressed to achieve this level of distortion... The bit with the square wave and 2x total output is what I disagree with.. a typical amp running near it's nominal rated load simply cannot supply the current to double the output power.. If you are running a 1ohm stable amp at 4ohms and feed it square wave I would agree it's capable of doubling output... but if you are running it at 1ohm the power supply just dosen't have the juice... At this point you move from a voltage clip into a current clip... THD goes through the roof with no gain in output... [/QUOTE]
