[QUOTE="Kyle_Keating, post: 5961818, member: 582385"] I don't agree with any of that A clipped single is simply a square wave. mechanically the driver will not ever do a square wave. Low frequencies are still going to push the driver's cone far and cooling will take place one way or the other. This "DC" stall you are talking about occurs in the voltage waveform, not the driver. Even if it did, it occurs only within one period and the driver still moves up and down each time. The amount it moves depends on how much voltage the amp (clipped or not clipped) and what frequency is being supplied - Because amplifiers don't get clipped constantly and music is not a constant sin wave, the effect of the square wave itself is probably negligible as far as cooling. I would be shocked if it was above the uncertainly threshold for any thermal measurements we can take. [/QUOTE]
