Can subs be damaged from distortion over time? (too little power)

I am being honest with you .....these speakers pounded......made my rear view drop all the way down .......they sounded great and flexed my back doors . Of course I can tell distortion when i hear it.

The question is how much distortion....Im not a meter and cant detect distortion at its slightest.

because of the damage done to your speakers and the gain being on full, I'm sorry to tell you but no you can't hear distortion. trust me and my experience. you were clipping hard and didn't know it. it doesn't mean you're stupid, it just means you're new. I've heard a lot of systems where the owner bragged about how great their system sounded when it actually sounded like crap to anyone with experience.

If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

Because I can't like this post twice.....

He's telling you the truth.... Can you smell your subs cooking?.... Are they in the trunk? Subs stinking is a good way too know they aren't happy.

Ok

Will turn to some other brands :D

I visit the U.S once a year ......maybe next year ill send down some boxes filled with some replacements. Instead of the hassle of buying it here.

I've decided I will get a better amp and better subs

There are far superior subs to be had for sure, but all of your subs failed from user error.... Meaning all the subs you mentioned had the tell tale signs of being clipped to death. I could be wrong on one but the rest all clip city as someone would say.

fix typing and add some

just making sure you got this: learn how to use a voltage meter to set the gains. it'll do you a lot of good, and it's fun.

If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.
