[QUOTE="Phatillusion, post: 20770, member: 541271"] So let me use an example: Take a 300 wRMS sub, you power it with 200 wRMS. You turn the volume control all the way up, the sub sounds horrible, after listening to it for a while (month or so) the sub no longer works. Explain what happened. I am led to believe that clipping/distortion is the reason the sub no longer works, so with your theory explain why you believe that the sub is no longer working. Clipping in the aspect of itself, may not be the reason it blew, but clippin has to have something to do with it. The reason I believe this is: if you don't abuse your sub underpowering it, it should work fine. I have a friend who has an old RF 10" and believe me when I say old, its close to 10 years old or so. He has never had a problem with it, and he is underpowering it by quite a bit. He also knows his subs limit, and doesn't abuse the volume control. If you can give me a straight forward answer that proves it, such as graphs, or your own terms, then I can work with that. I'm not going to say I'm right every time, because nobody is, that is why most of us are here, to learn. [/QUOTE]
