Broke_Audio_Addict Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 Where do you plan to set the gain at? That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

bleedingblue Posted November 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 Where do you plan to set the gain at? Set it by ear. Brother had a 900 watt amp on his components which exceeded their handling several fold. Theirs guys burping 5000 watts on a single 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bleedingblue Posted November 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Im not going to run the amp with the gain turned up all the way on my subs anyway. How am i throwing money away. With me having 4-8's you could say im throwing money away since its cheaper buying 2-12's. I ran 1300 watts through subs that only handled 500 watts for years.

Its like doing burnouts, blow your tires and your prepared to replace em. Put a stereo in bs fully prepared to replace broken items in truck or car. Thats life bubba. Everything has conseqences. If i blow them then i will see about a sub that handles more. You can blow more stuff up by distortion as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Distortion does not damage speakers, Not directly anyways.

DLHgn Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 I think what they're trying to say is that setting the gain by ear puts you at risk for giving the subs a dirty signal. That dirty signal is going to cook those coils. Correct me if i'm wrong guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron36 Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Dirty signal and distortion is what alway destroys subs , I've been over powering my subs for about a year but it's clean power from the amp and the subs love it. 2022 Ford Maverick on 22’s Skar SK1500.1 on 4 Skar VD-8’s Mids Sundown Super tweeters, Skar TX 6.5 components on Skar SKM400.4 LC2 for audio control , XS Power D680 XS Series Extra Battery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think that's true? Music itself contains distortion and clipping which you are indeed sending to your speakers. So everyone's speakers should be dead if what you say is true.
