[QUOTE="Immacomputer, post: 2842721, member: 570419"] The extra power delivered by the clipped signal can damage the coils, not the wave itself. For example, my amp is rated at 300rms and I can max out the gain and play the subs for hours on end without damaging the sub (well until the amp overheats and shuts off). That is because my sub can thermally handle power greater than 500rms. I don't do this because it sounds like shit but I could. Now if you're running your subs on an amp that puts out close to the same power that your subs are rated at, there is a strong possibility that you can damage them by sending them a clipped signal because the power starts to increase real fast. And yes, those are all 0dB tones as the file description says. [/QUOTE]
