the high volts arent what kill the sub while clipping...clipping causes it to overheat but not cooling properly and thats why u can kill a 1k rms sub with 200w clipped....

heat = electricity, and in this case. That electricity = power, which is measured in watts. Those extra watts are what kills speakers.

He means because when a sub gets DC voltage the sub doesn't move back and forth as much causing it to overheat. With more power you get more movement which equals more cooling of the coils. There is a limit to how much a sub can take even with clean power, but clipped power can be MUCH LOWER and blow subs. Thats why someone throwing 3000wrms can have theirs not blow on them, and someone with 1KW clipping can blow theirs. I was giving mine WAY more than 1KW of clean power and this sub can handle it just fine.

Not in person they're not. Could the dust cap design have been better? yes
