Turning down the volume when you have audible distortion is the best way to
not blow a speaker.


i concur.

But keep in mind that way more speakers are blown with too little power than
with too much power. In fact I'd say it's rare to blow a subwoofer with too
much power. Most folks just get el crapo amps and drive them into clipping
therefore sending the speaker a sqaure wave and that will pop a voice coil
in a heartbeat.




hehe here we go again..

for about a week i had an old zapco 25x2 amp running full range (no
x-over) on a cheap aw1200 audiobahn sub. did all i could to fry one of
em just to see what would happen and nothing.

i'd say the biggest killer is heat. if you can heat up the voice coil
enough, of course something is gonna happen to it.
