Did a cv stroker get outpowered ?

^ maybe you should read up a little bit about clipping, you can blow subs with only a 200w amp even if its rated for 800w pretty easily. specially in a big *** high tuned ported box and a 20hz sine wave

im pretty sure he knows what clipping is

didnt sound like it

It is actually more of a war on "what is the correct term".

I say power because its the root of all of it, just because you've played a clipped signal doesn't mean you automatically destroyed your speaker, speakers play clipped signals all the time without damage.

And I just don't like custel.

Shiit, thats nothing. lets get 'em riled up real good.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

FALSE-

Caps make more power for your amp

Caps will fix any dimming problem

There is no difference between the sound of different amplifiers

You can hear the difference between 0.001% and 0.1% THD in a subwoofer amplifier

You cant get good sound out of a ported box

You cant get loud out of a sealed box

Bandpass boxes are the cure all box for any woofer

Bandpass boxes are the devil and sound like ***

Clipping will hurt a speaker when driven within its rated power levels

Distortion hurts speakers

Speakers must be broken in first or it could hurt them.

Flat frequency response is all you need for good sound

Square subs hit harder

Round subs hit harder

Triangle subs hit harder

Active crossovers are better than passive crossovers

Passive crossovers are better than active crossovers

A flat BL curve is all you need for a good sounding driver

Underpowering damages speakers

Bigger subs dont play as "fast" as smaller subs

Your sub crossover should always be set less than 100Hz

you can bridge speakers

Dumax is the end all be all of measurements

Because Richard Clark said so, it must be true

Working at a car audio shop makes you and expert

Having 10,000 posts on an audio forum means your an expert

Home audio speakers wont work in car audio applications

Car audio speakers wont work in home audio applications

X-max tells how loud a sub can get.

and of course: the gain should be used as a volume knob

People say clipping kills subs because of what clipping is associated with. The subwoofer doesn't have a brain, and it doesn't know what signal is being fed to it. The SIGNAL therefore cannot blow the speaker. The signal CAN cause large gains in power due to more power under the once-sine wave. This increase in power because of the clipped signal is what causes them to blow. If you take a sony home receiver, crank up the bass boost and put it on a 9515, the speaker wouldn't blow; it would be unfazed as even as you are pulling all that more power from the receiver, it is still not enough to exceed it's thermal let alone mechanical limits. If you take an amplifier rated for the 9515 and clip it, yes; it could very easily blow. People need to stop blaming a signal for speaker damage and instead blame power and enclosures.

Thank you, you said exactly what I wanted to say, but was too lazy. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

dont think i clipped it.. just think i fried it but i got a new one commin in the mail, its the best sub ive heard! to bad they can blow never heard of one blowing up.

maybe ill put less power to it this time or get a couple more.. i think my ears are immune 2 bass. Do subs get better than the new cv stroker pros ? ? let me know

ive yet to find one oh yea the jackhammer lol //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif
