diegoclass2010 Posted December 15, 2013 Report Posted December 15, 2013 what's up guys im having an argument with some guy that wants to buy some amps off me. told him amps were set with a dd-1 so he know amps never saw distortion. this guy says distortion does not harm amp in any way. so i tell him distortion plays a roll in next to clipping that will make the amps work harder lower voltage and will heat up an amp and burn up coils. dude says hes built amps and then hit me with the scientific suff ill post it in a sec.... but what are your guys opinions. some one with this knowledge please chime in. im intrigued to hear about this
diegoclass2010 Posted December 15, 2013 Author Report Posted December 15, 2013 "the amp works less under clipping. it drives the output toward a square way which reduces voltage across the output device and reduces the amount of heat they produce. the power supply will end up working a little bit harder but only by about %20 this is for class AB amplifiers only. class D ruin square wave all the time and thus have different set of characteristics when they clip. Class D the power supply will work about twice as hard but the amp itself will work no harder. now if you wish to continue this argument I'm happy to but thats the facts."

hammiethebasshead Posted December 15, 2013 Report Posted December 15, 2013 under clipping and distortion the amp works harder and produces more heat while pulling away more voltage no idea scientifically but from personal experience i have clipped an amp and sub before was getting major voltage drops and lots of heat from the amp. also blew the subs i was using once you get a speaker moving so hard that its possible to make tinsels slap, you are already kissing "SQ" goodbye. Don't get me wrong, as I smoke Marlboro Reds, but if I saw one more kid with that smug-ass look (Look at me I'm smoking indoors) on their face, I was going to shove that thing so far up someone's ass that they'd look like a hillbilly trying to understand quantitative prediction theorem. You know why people are ass holes online but not in person? Because getting punched in the mouth hurts.

diegoclass2010 Posted December 15, 2013 Author Report Posted December 15, 2013 He's correct. thank you for confirming it Yo ass is wrong i guess my next question is why do amps burn up then?
Miguels Posted December 15, 2013 Report Posted December 15, 2013 confirmed with no explanation of how.. tony loves doing this to us my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/
diegoclass2010 Posted December 15, 2013 Author Report Posted December 15, 2013 confirmed with no explanation of how.. tony loves doing this to us you're right , he did confirmed what the guy said. but that that applies to the amp seeing distortion/clipping? menning distortion/clipping do nothing to an amplifier?
