Guest MegaloManiac Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 I am not backtracking, underpowering a sub will eventually kill it, becuase eventually it will recieve a clipped signal via low voltage, gains set incorrectly, user error. then why call me an idiot? no apology? I have been saying the same thing you have all along...(now that you cleared it up) underpowering is different from clipping it. you said you agreed with roscoe 100%?...all of a sudden you dont?

David Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 I called you an idiot because instead of trying to talk out an issue you post something so rediculous like your trying to talk down on someone ( thats how it came off to me anyhow) I do agree with roscoe, underpowering a sub will kill it. I have no idea what happened in his install I wasnt there so i cant comment on that part of the discussion or about the sub itself I havent played with one ( yet ) no apology from me, I dont like your additude.

David Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 give that setup to some kid in there car to play with for a month, I would bet $$ that the speaker comes back blown, if the signal can remain clean no mater than there should be no issues, there is no denying(sp) that, but in real world applications, the signal will never always be clean. so in my theory a underpowered sub is a no no.

Amalan Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 i agree with megalo not everyone likes to bump their music loud all the time. i just like having the power when i want it but i basically have it all the way down when im listening to music cause its enough for me. i really dont see how not meeting the rms 24/7 will kill the sub...

jasonw30 Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 really this thread is a good point from both sides.it explains if you underpower the sub,with a clipped signal over time it will blow.if you underpower a sub with the right amount of signal,you just won't get the performance out of it.which usually makes people clip the signal trying to get better performance. 2002 nissan frontier crewcab eclipse cd2000 mb quart prem's fr&rear rf p4004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
