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

[PV Audio 5,000+ posts]

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

This makes no sense and isn't true, so no. You can't send straight heat through a wire, that doesn't make sense. Power is energy / time or work / time. Heat is the by product of that process, not the process itself. DE = W + Q.

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

clipped signals DO blow speakers //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
speakers are sensitive and dont like that shit. they see square waves and they are like "peace nyucka". its bad stuff.

clipping kills //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Prove to me why clipping kills speakers, as I've already stated why it doesn't. Your speaker doesn't know the type of signal sent to it, and a 100w amplifier clipping to hell and back hooked up to a BTL will NOT blow the BTL. Prove me wrong.

that really made me lol. thats great.

but clipping does blow speakers, if you clip your amp it puts out a square wave which has more power and blows subs.Yes, the extra power if it goes over the subs thermal limits will blow the sub.ie. 1000 watts rms amp sending a clipped signal to a 1000 watt rms sub. If you don't send a clipped signal you won't send the extra power. It starts with clipping the amp.Now obviously my example is for a clipped signal blowing a sub, if you feed a sub rated at 750 rms, 1000 rms than you don't have to clip the amp to blow the sub, so in this case power blew the sub not clipping.

Thats like saying guns don't kill. It is really the bullet that kills but where does the bullet get shot out of?

No, because no matter what the bullet is shot out of, it almost always kills. Clipping on the other hand, does not kill. If it does, tell me why people pay tens of thousands of dollars to pay for amps that purposely clip? We're talking about tube amplifiers, which are known for their better sound via distortion.

you could get pistol whipped to death. or an amp dropped on your sub.

Is this like guns dont kill people, but people kill people? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Heat is the number one destroyer of speakers. Take that for what you will.

 

[sonic purity 10+ year member]

heat is what is given off from the inductor as a result of the power transfer. A voice coil is just an inductor wound beside a magnet. So when an ac voltage come across it, depending on the voltage level it will repel or attract the coil. This makes the transducer move. If you send a dc signal into the voice coil, it will move the cone to that position and stay for as long as you keep a constant voltage to it. Now, if the coil is not moving and it is giving off heat from the current exchange. Then it cannot cool it self (it is made to be moving constantly and the airflow from the movement lets it give off heat) That is what a clipped signal does. A little at a time it suspends the movement of the cone, even if only microseconds at a time. But excess heat builts up and can cause the weakest part of the coil to melt or break.

No, it doesn't kill the speaker, but it does create more wear and tear on the speaker.
