Yea cause clipping blows subs. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/slap.gif.87520e8ca8e90076ac30e777c0de5331.gif

Heat is the enemy of subs, and clipping causes a sharp increase in heat build-up...which can obviously cause some magic smoke.

 
Clipping, in itself, does not blow subs. a fully clipped signal, basically a square wave, sent from a 100w amp will not overheat a 500w capable sub. The sub will happily fart along all day. Now clip the signal from a higher output amplifier, and the sub will overheat. The problem is overpowering, not clipping.
