Re: blowing woofers versus tweeters

Richard;
My God man, you certainly do type too much. You're way off topic and back onto tweeters again, and the relatively inconsequential amount of power added to the high pass when clipping the amp on the lower.

I think you missed your yoga class this morning. Your points are all very well and good, but your apparent desire to avoid a point contrary to your own seems quite unbecoming to me.

I'm sticking to my story. I can rip a woofer right off the magnet by clipping an amp, and based upon the note from Adire, I am willing to bet that they wholeheartedly agree. The only remaining question, then, is, "would you?" Please, read on...

With all drivers too much power causes the damage

Edited: With all drivers, too much power causes damage. I urge you to find a way for the following statement to exist simultaneously. Clipping produces a nastier, less driver-friendly signal than when not clipping, and clipping begins with a lesser amp earlier than it does with a greater one.

The fact that some amps simply do not, even when clipping, have sufficient power to blow a driver, has also been recognized. Please try to keep each point in perspective. All of these things are simultaneously true.

Get a grip!
