[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8451550, member: 614752"] I suspect if your amp was making close to 20KW you would have killed those subs very quickly so probably not. More likely you played them hard right around tuning and the amp saw 6 or 8 ohms most of the time. That does NOT mean that if you find your z-min frequency you couldn't have smoked those subs in under 30 seconds of hard play if you chose the wrong song. What is it about that extra 30% more power from "clipped signal" that would push things over the top? This implies that 1200W square wave isn't the exact same power as 1800W sine wave? You're going to need to go a long way to show the math to prove that when it's commonly accepted that average (RMS) power = .707 * peak. Much like "box rise", "clipping" is some mythical boogeyman that people use to explain just about anything they don't understand. [/QUOTE]
