[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 947748, member: 555320"] Why not, life is all about risks [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif[/IMG] But seriously; fully clipping that amp to that sub, I would worry more about the amp than the sub. Which is why I told him to still set his gain and bass boost correctly. If the speaker can thermally handle the power, there is no reason not to. A clipped signal will not damage a speaker if it does not exceed the thermal power handling of the speaker or cause the speaker to exceed it's mechanical limits. See above. There is a guaranty that it will not damage the speaker if the two above conditions are not met. If the speaker has a true power handling of 150w, an 80w signal will not damage it. I said that in my first post [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif[/IMG] Not everybody has the ear to notice distortion (clipping) at the very initial onset, especially in the subbass region where it is hard for humans to hear distortion. So, even with the "by the ear" method it is still highly likely that they will clip the amplifier [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] FYI for ya.......
