[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8830012, member: 614752"] Sounds like it's not being played at normal speed either. If you want music to "show off" your system with don't start with some shitty youtube video. Buy or pirate something in a high bitrate/lossless/etc. format. """Clipping""" aside, you probably didn't spend thousands of dollars (or whatever you guys use for money there) on audio equipment to listen to some poorly recorded and highly compressed music files. That all said, your woofers can only take so much heat and they don't care so much about the shape of the waveform you play but only the average amplitude over time.... or in other words, if it sounds like something is stressing or you start smelling something burning turn it down!
