If that was a 100Hz. sine wave @ 100 watts input, the clipping harmonics that reached the tweeter through a typical high-pass filter would probably be no more than 1 watt (which was my whole point -- the clipping harmonics are just a small percentage of the total
treble power needed to detroy most modern tweeters). But the woofer
would probably get damaged from 100 watts input/100Hz. sine wave
while the tweeter survived!I like to think of tweeters as modern day "speaker fuses" --
if you ignore the fact that the music is VERY LOUD,
and you fail to notice the clipping distortion,
then the blown tweeters are the final warning
that you are damaging your hearing.
