[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 786750, member: 540940"] But distortion isn't the concern - if it were, everytime we flipped through the fm stations and got static our subs would be toast. Clipping allows an amp to produce WAY more power than it does when it's not clipped, which is why an amp rated at 500w rms @ 1% THD can toast a woofer that's rated for 500w when you clip the hell out of the amp. And I don't buy the square wave effecting the vc's ability to cool itself. By the time the flat portion of the wave has attempted (unsucessfully) to stop the movement of the cone it's already time to move again. It's just the power, plain and simple. [/QUOTE]
