[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8855018, member: 689267"] And that’s quibbling. ;) If the result of improperly setting the gains is that you clip the amp, the result is the same. Blame under powering or user error, it’s to be avoided either way. The purpose of a gain control is to tune the amp's input stage to accept the head unit's voltage level, and for the vast majority of people, not to manipulate it so that you ca squeeze extra power by clipping the amp. It’s simple really, when you blow a speaker from too much power, you pushed the speaker beyond it’s capability. When you blow a speaker from clipping, it’s due to overdriving the amplifier. Fried equipment either way, regardless who the user is that didn’t know what they were doing. ;) I’m still trying to figure out why the OP is still trying to use a driver that had rubbing that apparently he has now corrected. I’d be willing to bet that one of or the single VC has an intermittent short in it and that can cause the amp it is hooked up to fail if the amp does not have built in voltage/short protection [/QUOTE]
