[QUOTE="Etac, post: 5129272, member: 570589"] ok i just wanna make sure im correct when assuming this... i've noticed my dedicated midbass speaker tends to clip before my other speaks do... but its defently not being overpowered.. so the only logical conclusion i can come up with is.. im sure as most of you know impediance changes depending on the frequency and the driver... even tho my speaker is rated at nominally 4ohms... at 60hz.. its resistance is more like 12 ohms... and at 36 its like off the charts.. so i figure its clipping at the midbass (60hzish) first because the ohms is 12ish compared to the 4 in the 100hz ish range... and i know this part isnt exact but its a good example...say an amp produces 100 watts at 4 ohms... 200 at 2 ohms... so at 8 it would be 50... ect.... so basically thats whats causing my amp/signal to clip right? trying to produce more power than it can at the given impediance.. correct?
