and that's why i'm doing this: to show that if you underpower a sub with a clean signal, there's no harm done.

well underpowering wont kill it,but most people with not enough power for a sub turn it all the way up to be louder they say,and distortion is what ends up blowing the sub.

//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif Distortion does not blow speakers either. Only two things can: exceeding its thermal limits, or exceeding its mechanical limits. A speaker does not know what signal it is being sent.

the distortion itself isnt whats killing the sub

If anyone has a crapy qpower or something sittin around.... you ought to hook it up to a small amplifier, clipping the hell out of it and see how long it takes to blow //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I don't think that you understand what I meant. Clipping and distortion do not kill speakers, they just don't. What DOES kill speakers is the increase in power because of the distorted sine wave of a clipped signal. It becomes more rectangular, which increases the power under the curve, thus, overpowering the speaker.

I know that. I know I know I know I know I know.

What I'm saying is that since I don't want to sacrifice my moofa, someone needs to replicate the noob blowing their sub by "underpowering" it by throwing it a very clipped signal until it pops from thermal failure due to increased power brought on by clipping.

I have a 5.25 dayton Shielded...I might see how long clipping takes to kill it

So what's the deal, Loony Tunes sent you his sub so you could install it in the box you are building for him and you think he will not see this thread?
