Underpowering will kill a sub!

I dont have time to Read all there dumbass statments

Post and link to here, and I will set them strait if they come here spreading FALSE information


there is NO WAY a subwoofer can blow by underpowering it

iif that was the case there would not be VOLUME knobs


Clipping Kills speakers NOT underpowering

When you clipp a Amp the amp can theorically send 4x rms to the speaker, so if you have a 600w rms sub on a 300w rms amp running in full clip the sub could be getting the equvalant to 1200w's which would then blow the subwoofer

 

the guy on that thread main point is....

that the DF of a amp has to do with it.

that a 400w amp pushing 100w into a sub has more control than a 100w amp pushing 100w into a sub (unclipped undistorted).

i dont get it....but to each his own....

 

the only problem with that is, one false move on any of the corosovers, gain settings etc and POOF there goes your sub

 

The link isn't right...
Looks like you copied the text that was displayed as a link (from some other forum linking to it?), rather than the actual link...

Can you go get it again.. the full link?

And yes, there's no such thing as too little power...
The one and only penalty for that is that you won't be as loud as you could be.

What happens when you turn your volume knob down is you are progressively throttling back the power, until you finally turn the volume right off.
To say that too little power kills speakers is exactly the same thing as saying that running speakers at low volumes kills them!

the amp really does not produce that much more power

but the Heat generate at the Voice Coil could be LIKE 2-4x rms..

Due to the clipping if it goes as far a creating full Square waves.....

 

I just posted a doozy over there..

That's what getting stuck at work, having too much time on your hands will do...


I'm half dilerious as it is, it's 11pm and I got in this morning at 8am... :angry:

 

He said 200 w per JL 12w6 was not recomended?.........

and a Square Wave can be 4x that of a normal music wave which is not a full sine wave

 

he is still claiming that unbderpowering subs or any speakers kill them


I guess we can use his logic to Fight the noise laws since we can no longer turn down our speakers, we can only play them at there rms rating :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

Well said, Michael. Well said. haha.

By all the accounts you always here about flipping screwy court decisions, we might have a winning defense here.

 

Noone is agreeing with the guy; everyone knows the truth. Just leave him alone and let it go now. Some people are just that ignorant.

 

It's more fun to humble him into submission...

Er, I mean, educate him so he is made aware...


Seriously, I love people who are reasonable...

But I definitely conflict heavily with people who are bullheaded...
And really by that I mean bullheaded and wrong.

It's like brainwashing yourself, which is the amusing thing..

It's when you face a problem, concieve some theory or speculate some potential option.. and then skip the whole proof step, but convince yourself "this is what happened".

Ignorance is behaving in that manner.
Continually questioning what you know, I believe, is the path to knowledge.

 

It seems to me like he doesint want to admit he is wrong because of his status...

Look at the other threads in that section, he has answered most of the questions....and some in pretty funny ways "get speaker with biggest magnet and lightest cone" not plasic.. ect....

He's like the driver of the short bus.....

doesint want to be wrong infront of his followers.....
