For the last time, PLEASE: clipping does NOT blow speakers/subwoofers

[PV Audio 5,000+ posts]

Because usually when you have a subwoofer rated at 1kW rms and an amp that puts out 1kW rms, and you clip this signal, it blows the sub. In this case, it can be thought of that because you clipped the signal, the sub blew. But, its not the actually clipping that causes it, just the addition of power.
If you have a 1kW sub and a 100 W amp, and you clip this signal, the additional power won't blow a sub.

This might make a bit more sense than my dog drinking muriatic acid and coke analogy. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Yeah, I'm not too too worried about anything programming related. I like doing it as a hobby in my spare time, writing scripts for my computers at home. I was thinking about minoring in computer science, but I doubt it. But the circuit theory classes I hear are the same around here.

Honestly, I was going to do ME initially, but EE just clicks better for some reason. The two main things I love more than anything (besides boxing as that's number one, but that has nothing to do with engineering //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif) are work on cars and do this audio shit. Unfortunately, I'm more interested in the theory than hands on shit, as evidenced by me defying joetama and designing a wirelessly powered loudspeaker...that could potentially kill someone, but it'll be badass if it works on a larger scale //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

Haha, well who knows. You better patent that shit now //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

These two classes (Linear Systems Analysis) and Circuit Analysis are the "weed-out" classes at Tech.
That and microcontrollers. If you're not good with programming, this class will destroy you. Straight machine code, dawg.

I think I want to do programming as a minor actually. It's interesting to me, but most of the CS kids smell like shit because they just play WoW all day long, eat pork rinds and don't shower. Dunno if that's enough to deter me from sitting through those classes.

well I do appreciate the info..... Never knew what to believe now, but now lid out for me it makes a lot of sense... I usually would turn th gains up on my amp for burps at comps, and never did experience a problem.

but once again thanks for clearing things up and laying out the "why" is doesnt

//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsup.gif.3287b36ca96645a13a43aff531f37f02.gif Glad I could be of some assistance if at all.

On a completely unrelated note, I just bought an HD-DVD player from Amazon Warehouse Deals for 99 bucks //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/bowdown.gif.b85b23b82970bd22fb6b549c3392f016.gif

Gotta go find all the HD-DVDs I can before people take them off shelves.

Ahh, good deal. Too bad Blu-Ray is the future of high definition content //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Whoops....

Those ****ers got owned. Refurbished or not, they got their ***** handed to them for buying prematurely. Ill wait till the disc prices drop a bit more and pick up some movies I really like aka The Prestige and 2001. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Alright gentlemen, time for bed. Will be interesting to see how many people have responded in the morning about how their friend says I'm wrong.
