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

The requirements for the CS department anywhere is that you must bathe/shower no more than twice a week and you must wear the same (at least, same design) nerdy sci fi-ish shirt every day.

The 4.0 students shower once a week and wear the exact same shirt every day.

Hmm, do anime shirts count?

Anime shirts drop out of CS and go to liberal arts programs after their freshman year.

At this point it starts sending straight heat to your coil and can burn the coil. I think frying your coil till it stinks to all hell and shorts out the coil is considered a blown sub at that point. Right

To people who turn the bass all the way up but notice it sounds louder when you start to back it down you WERE CLIPPING. Once your past that threshold its done, use your self control or gain match to that point.

I see after posting, I read page 1 not sure about where page 5 went to.

sorry for the late .2 cents

Plain and simple if your shit is clipping it does not get any louder. At this point it starts sending straight heat to your coil and can burn the coil. I think frying your coil till it stinks to all hell and shorts out the coil is considered a blown sub at that point.

clipping speeds the heat up lol... So for the noobs out there who just do song after song full tilt then you could say that clipping has overheated there speakers

a clipped signal will blow a speaker //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

a clipped signal will have dc voltage in it. dc voltage kills voice coils.
