[QUOTE="alexlindeman, post: 2969599, member: 575580"] We made some videos and had some fun. Some people tried claiming the class D and class AB clipping signals not only look different, but kill a coil in different ways. They both overheat a coil the exact same way when clipping. We took a coil rated at 400 watts and put 700 watts of clean tones into it. It took quite some time to overheat the voice coil, but eventually it was gone. Then took the rated 400 watts and started to dirty up the signal. Overheated the coil in 1/3 the time. We then took a 200 watt signal and clipped it all to hell. It went very fast. So does clipping damage a speaker, yes...how fast...it depends on the severity of the clipping. [/QUOTE]
