[QUOTE="tinmanchris217, post: 6014381, member: 610505"] I shouldn't have referred to clipped signal as similar to DC current. The square wave effect of clipping causes the woofer to be stationary for a few MILLISECONDS during each oscillation... and if this gets to be a large % of the time... over a long time... heat can accumulate. Depending on the way your woofers are designed, they may reach the limit of their suspension before slapping the back plate. Either way, it's usually pretty dramatic floppage and has a different look to it compared to tight strong bass. [/QUOTE]
