[QUOTE="IgnoreMe, post: 1944687, member: 551352"] ok here is the question. i set my cd player to volume 30/35 and set my gains using a -3db test tone to my speakers to supposedly have 0 clipping at -3db ok now my cd player clips at volume 27... CAN this blow out a speaker? or would i have to have the amplifier clipping inorder to do that? reason i ask is cause after some more testing, i set my gain to give out 300 watts to my pro60's. i set it using 30/35 for volume but i heard jmac say once that alpines shouldnt be used above 26/35 (im guessing cause they clip) after about 30 seconds of playin at my max set volume (30) i started to smell burning coil which from my best guess would be caused by clipping cause...from every experience i have read, the speakers take 300 watts easily. could this cause my cd player is clipping? or is it just my amplifer thats clipping?
