ISO Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Your clipping. Clipping=BAD Clipping is sending DC current to your subs and is very bad, infact you will probbly blow your sub in acouple of days. You must turn your sub amp gain control down. Alittle warmth on the cone is not bad but actual heat or the word HOT is a very very bad thing man. If you have a bass boost turned up, you could start turnning it down first. Unless you like the bass boost. Then leave it where its at and turn down the gain control on the sub amp. Isobaric - Refers to the practice of coupling two drivers together to make them act as one.

DUBIE Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 also when a subwoofer overheats doesnt it sometimes is when you power it with too much power? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISO Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 ^^^^^^^^Oh ya! To much power can just straight smoke a sub. Melt your voice coil to the pool piece or I have seen were the voice burnt the material that made up the voice coil former and actually burned the voice coil off of the cone.(Poor bastard didn't even make it past one or two burps with 12,000 watts.WTF!)

Torres Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 clipping wont blow a sub, so i dont think it's sending DC current. doesnt it have to be converted to DC current? just as the amp converts it to AC current? but the clipping doesnt blow the sub, it's the heat that the clipping produces. i have a link at home that goes pretty in depth about it from some electrical engineers. either way clipping is bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
