Bull****. I can fry a speaker with straight DC voltage.
So??? I can ruin a speaker with a sledge hammer. What does DC Voltage have to do with clipping????? |

"Soundfreak03" wrote in message ... So you're saying a clipped, overdriven-until-death amp will NEVER EVER NEVER damage a speaker??? Noone said that. Are you really that much of a dumbass?? IF, and only IF, the amplifier delivers more power than the speaker can handle while being clipped will it damage a speaker. It happens WAY LESS than you think it does. Do you care to answer the questions I asked? Like how does a clipped amp "pop a voice coil"? Overheating. Speaker design 101..check into it. And why you think that clipping is always going to damage the speakers? Speakers don't like amps to give them anything but clean, raw power. Anything else can damage the speaker. But you wont answer, and not because you dont have the time, but because you are an idiot without a clue. I really just don't have time to take you to school right now if you want to know the truth. |

Do you care to answer the questions I asked? Like how does a clipped amp
"pop a voice coil"? Overheating. Speaker design 101..check into it. Been there, but obviously you missed a few things. Speakers don't like amps to give them anything but clean, raw power. Anything else can damage the speaker. BULL****!!!!!! HOW??? You can say that all day long but explain how. You cant. The speakers dont really care as long as you do not exceed thier limits! It is a combonation of the clipping and various other items that will damage a speaker. But saying anything else will damage a speaker is wrong. But you wont answer, and not because you dont have the time, but because you are an idiot without a clue. I really just don't have time to take you to school right now if you want to know the truth. You dont know. Thats why you dont have the time. Because you have magically had the time to respond every other time but you cant provide ANY, not one bit, of scientific or even just logical knowledge. You merely repeat what your buddy told you. So try and take me to school. I will do what I do to everyone else like you, make you look like the dumbass you are. Right now your just a punk kid who has no idea what the hell they are talking about. PROVE ME WRONG. Go ahead and do it. But you can't. You lose more and more credibility everytime you post. Les |

You just look more idiotic everytime you post. Present something logical, show us the basis of your assertations, surely you can do that. Where do you get your information? What source? And be specific because there is a good chance I have a copy of it and I will be more than happy to look it up. So far you have posted nothing but audio myths from someone who has no clue.

The speakers will only overheat if the clipped signal carries more voltage than the speakers can handle. Funny that you didn't have anything to say about my post where I told you my laptop speakers are powered by a clipped signal all time and haven't blown yet. Convenient. Paul Vina |

Is your reading comprehension that poor?? When did soundfreak or I say
that a clipped signal will not blow a speaker? He simply said that clipping *"in and of itself"* will not blow a speaker. Power is the only thing that fries speakers. Bull****. I can fry a speaker with straight DC voltage. As long as the power content of the DC is greater than what the speaker can handle. But say, hooking up a 9v duracell to a subwoofer isn't going to fry it. Are you getting the underlying theme here? Hint: power bloes speakers, and nothing else. |

Nothing. Just trying to debunk the thinking around here that the only way to
damage a speaker is by overpowering it. That IS the only way to blow a speaker. Do you know what happens when a speaker is blown? Do you know any of the many different things that can happen to the speaker thus rendering it "blown"? Name one thing that could happen to a speaker, aside from mechanical damage which I presume you're not talking about, that would blow a speaker WITHOUT requiring an excess of power - and explain to me what happens inside the speaker that makes it "blown". I think if you do this, you'll clarify your stance a bit. |

It's like if you were to say that Metallica is harmful to speakers. A
ridiculous assertion of course. Though you CAN blow speakers playing Metallica as long as the power content exceeds what the speakers are capable of safely handling. There's a major difference in recorded guitar distortion and the distortion created by an amp being overdriven beyond it's limits. I'm shocked you didn't know that already. This ought to be good. Explain to me the difference between, say, a square wave recorded in the studio and played back on your stereo and a sine wave severely clipped by your amplifier such that it resembles a square wave. Note that I'm not saying that typical guitar distortion resembles a square wave. Rather, I'm challenging your assertion that the speaker can somehow distinguish between distortion created by the recording, the source, or the amplifier. The speaker does not have access to the original information, so it's impossible for it to determine whether or not the signal presented to it deviates from the original signal (ie. distortion). |

Do you care to answer the questions I asked? Like how does a clipped amp
"pop a voice coil"? Overheating. Speaker design 101..check into it. The laws of physics, primarily the first law of thermodynamics, prevent a speaker from heating itself up without an external source. In other words, only the power amplifier and the external ambient temperature can assist in heating the voice coil in the absence of other forces. So, assuming no one's driving around in a volcano, the only source to overheat a speaker is from the amplifier. Joule's law of heating and some other law I forget the name of describes the transduction of heat from electricity with energy remaining constant, forming a relation between electrical power dissipation and heat. Therefore, only an excess of power can overheat a speaker. It seems you're in agreement after all. But I don't know why you insist on talking about square waves and DC, all irrelevant. And why you think that clipping is always going to damage the speakers? Speakers don't like amps to give them anything but clean, raw power. Anything else can damage the speaker. Define "clean raw power". For instance, if I send any combination of pure sine waves to the input of an amplifier, is it a "clean" signal? |

Let me ask you this, Does distortion destroy speakers? Does clipping destroy speakers? What conditions usually exist when an "underpowered" amp blows a speaker. What does DC voltage have to do with clipping? Lets go Fugly lets see how smart you are. You have STILL offered no proof, no evidence, only your ramblings which make no sense. I am still waiting for you to prove me wrong on all I have said. Come on Fugly, you just look foolish. You are the one who is being taking to school here. Come on dumbass prove me wrong. Les |

Just recently I actually had to rewind the voice coil of a JBL D130 that was made back in the 70's. The thing is rated to handle like 30 watts! Everything you just listed is a result of overpowering. That is, delivering more power to the speaker than it can handle. There is no special type of waveform that will cause the temperature to significantly rise in the speaker to cause the effects you listed at a given power level. The only thing that can cause a rise in temperature is increased power. Incidentally, the power content of a square wave is twice that of an equal amplitude sine wave. Perhaps that's what you're referring to? |

Again, that's not what I said. Is english not your first language? You seem to be having a very difficult time comprehending what I've said thus far, and I'd like to think that I'm being reasonably articulate. If it's not your first language, we can slow things down a bit for you. I'll repeat what I said since you apparently missed it the first time: A square wave recorded in a studio will yield almost an identical output as a sine wave driven into clipping. Note that I said nothing about distortion in the studio in that line, though I did address it in the paragraph that you conveniently snipped out. |

You just contradicted yourself, and in a BIG way. The size of the amp
shouldn't matter since you said it was clipping that destroys speakers. if the amp in my laptop is clipping the speakers should be dead, but they're not. You're getting farther and farther into the corner you've painted yourself into and you're running out of room to backpedal. Paul Vina "Pug Fugley" wrote in message nk.net...

The RMS voltage of the sine wave is .707 times that of the square wave. When you square it (P is proportional to V squared), you get 0.5 the power content in the sine wave compared to the square wave. |

If you want to show him why many persons think that "clipping" damages spks. you should but you can come across in a kinder, gentler manner. Sarcasm is hard to transmit over the net. If used properly "clipping" can yield almost 30% power, but like SF03 said there are a lot of parameters that can damage a spk. "clipping is just a catch all phrase for those who don't know how to use spks. |

Not to get into the middle of this, But i sure the hell remember sitting through tech training with Soudstream, Phoenix Gold, Orion,Audiobahn,even Infinity.

Especially in the q&a in csr. People always getting the advice to overpower. Basically the way i was always told is clipping=distortion=heat=burned woofer. But it tends to make sense that underpowering cant possibly hurt a sub. EXCEPT I WAS TRAINED TO BELEIVE IT DOES. and after all that training you tend to get stubborn. so this is what i beleive now, can underpowering a woofer blow?

For years i heard this. And yes ive read it also. Did they give you any reasons? I suspect not, since none of you have been able to remember them. Anyway, yes, marketing departments often give that advice. They tell you not to drive your amp into clipping. Why? Because in doing so you're increasing the power output of your amp. Power doesn't STOP increasing - it continues to increase when driven into saturation. So it's in their best interest to tell you not to drive it into clipping because if you match a 50 watt speaker with a 50 watt amplifier (as most people do), your 50 watt amplifier can reach 80-90 watts if you're clipping. The reasons for this are outlined in the following website: http://www.geocities.com/audiotechpa...ingframes.html Also, a very reputabl manufacturer also has something to say in depth about clipping: http://www.rane.com/pdf/note128.pdf Many times around 1988 to say 1993ish. Especially in the q&a in csr. People always getting the advice to overpower. Basically the way i was always told is clipping=distortion=heat=burned woofer. How can distortion = heat?

Sort of like the JL w3s claiming that they can only handle 150 watts or something. 5 years and it hasn't blown yet. Oopss..I guess overpowering doesn't ALWAYS blow spekers, eh? By the very definition of the word overpower, yes it ALWAYS blows speakers. In other words, if you overpower a speaker, thus delivering more power to it than it can safely handle, then you will blow it. If you're not blowing it, then obviously you're not delivering more power than it can safely handle! Make sense? You've been in the business long enough to realize just how worthless ratings are. At least I hope so. Perhaps that's what's confusing you? http://www.geocities.com/audiotechpa...ingframes.html |

If used properly "clipping" can yield almost 30% power,
You can deliver more than 30% more power if you clip severely. It's limited only by the output impedance of the amplifier. |

The reasons were clipping=distortion=heat=burn out. That a speakers worst enemy is heat. That was usually the sum ip of the training. To some of us we tried to take as much info to help our customers. Beyond that i couldnt tell you the specifics of how an amplifier works and i dont care. I love car audio. I love working in the industry. And this is all i care about i have never had a customer bring back a system that I laid out for him for any reason. 95% of the system i put together have overpowered subs and they dont burn up. So again the technical stuff i could care less about. Can distortion=heat I dont know, i dont care but I do know that i was taught this by many Trainings. I even remember sitting through a jl training and them saying this. Am i going to run out and try to prove what I was taught is wrong. No because it has worked for me. And could it possibly be pr corrupting some of the technical trainings. Im sure.

speaker protection
Hell, I've got a 900 watt amp bridged to a SINGLE Image Dynamics IDQ-12
which is rated for what..200 watts? 5 years and it hasn't blown yet. Oopss..I guess overpowering doesn't ALWAYS blow spekers, eh? The IDQ is rated to take 350RMS but talking with Eric Stevens tells me that the sub is WAY underrated. Paul Vina |
