[QUOTE="tcguy85, post: 4091611, member: 574289"] thats very true. i bet the tweeters on average aren't seeing more than maybe 25 watts, and i bet the mids on average don't see over 100 watts. i know i have seen the clip light on my S4 flashing a tiny bit but the way i read it, the clip light will light whenever the rail voltage on the amp is met, even if it's on an extremely(split second) short peak. i was just trying to say that even though his amp can make that much power he is probably not using it all but on the other hand maybe he is. who knows. and clipping does hurt speakers, but not the clipping itself, but the extra power the speaker see's when the amp clips.
