[QUOTE="Haunz, post: 6746036, member: 576010"] You would be hard pressed to kill a real 500 watt driver with 500 watts of power, unless there is a severe amount of distortion over a prolonged period of time... keep in mind an amp can generally not provide much more power then it's rated for at nominal load... and as you increase duty cycle through compression THD skyrockets... This is completely false.. first of all 99% of the power in a coil turns into heat anyway.. secondly any extra power due to clipping goes into harmonics, which are also sine waves.. you can feed a sub for example pure square wave, and it will still move sinusoidally with a base + harmonics...
