MIKE-2U Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 So today my speaker started to sound clipped all the rest of the day .(if i understand the clipped sound) and it hasn't stopped. what are all the ways i can tell if a speaker is clipped or damaged from clipping or even blown. Obviously i know to listen but any other ways ?

MIKE-2U Posted January 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Ok well i gwt a reading of about 3.8 per coil fpr a dual 4. Almost sounds like its been bottomened out or somewhat. So i may recone it idk Quote 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee LaredoPioneer AVH- 3200DVD2/0 Flex-A-Prene Welding Cable (2) Fully Loaded Fi Sp4's dual 1-------> My YouTube Channel <------- Needs more power those woofers will laugh at that turd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corey0928 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 You can't really hear clipping unless you are clipping it super hard. And if your clipping you need to reset your gains before you recone. And 3.8 isn't anything to worry about IMO most coils Dont read right at the number anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIKE-2U Posted January 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Idk if its clipping i hear or something else. Sounds funky at any volume unless i turn knob all the way up. Funky sound is like sub is bottoming out almost? Idnt know how to explain it Quote 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee LaredoPioneer AVH- 3200DVD2/0 Flex-A-Prene Welding Cable (2) Fully Loaded Fi Sp4's dual 1-------> My YouTube Channel <------- Needs more power those woofers will laugh at that turd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKE-2U Posted January 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 The reason i think it was damaged due to clipping because it started after i had been messing with the loudness setting on my h/u. Thats all i can recall.

87regal Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 You can hear clipping? Clipping is something that happens to the signal. Distortion is what you can hear, which can be caused by clipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
