[QUOTE="los33, post: 8276136, member: 660834"] "You can mechanically over drive the speaker, and thermally damage it. Thermal damage is introduced from excessive heat being presented in the driver. This can be cause from incorrect amplifier setting, clipping, long play sessions with an inadequate voice coil, just too much clean power, or amplifier failure introducing DC voltage. Mechanical damage is caused from pushing the driver past its mechanical limits. This can be damage to the suspension which helps keep the voice coil movement linear. Suspension damage can be rips, tears, or outside influenced irregularities in the fabric suspension. The other mechanical damage can be from voice coil expansion in the magnet, causing rubbing (usually happens only with excessive amounts of heat). Another common form of mechanical damage is reaching mechanical clearance limits. This would be such as contacting the voice coil to the back of the magnet structure, spider to the top plate of the magnet structure, or cone in contact with terminals/ spider landings." Please feel free to learn and understand mechanical damage can so cause thermal/heat damage which a low frequency that a sub cannot handle will of course heat the sub causing voice coils to melt and/or seperate.
