[QUOTE="Jimi77, post: 8854925, member: 673702"] Wow. The "squared" waveform is called clipping, literally the top of the wave form is clipped off. Clipping can be good if the amp can handle it because it increases power and has the effect of increasing the apparent frequency the sub is reproducing, which usually means translates to greater efficiency from the driver. Just keep in mind you can't run the amp or sub clipped for long periods of time or you'll smoke one or both of them. Rubbing VCs will usually lead to damaged equipment. And VC's can be off center, ie if you up or down fire a sub, it will sag in the suspension, which will affect the BL curves, etc. [/QUOTE]
