[QUOTE="req, post: 539735, member: 555713"] yea, the reason why people blow subs when they are clipping is because the amp usually produces twice the power at clipping stages. this is when the sub starts to sweat (or burn ^_^ ) clipping is not really too audible. sometimes you can hear it, but it produces more power at a reduced clarity. distortion is just static. what people have been saying about distortion is like saying "distortion or snow on your tv will break it, so turn it off quick" rofl. it just makes it sound bad. as long as the amp - as squeak said - is within its thermal and mechanical limits, you can play as much clipped distortion as you want. you might cringe and grind your teeth when you listen. but it will work so long as your battery\alternator run and your gas tank is full =) [/QUOTE]
