iKidwell Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 the gain knob is not a volume knob and the bass boost is not your friend. c'mon now, if i was shooting an 8 year old, it wouldnt be MY 8 year old. i recently got a Pyle PL1590BL and i was building an enclosure for it tuned to 25 hz. i didn't have any tools to cut a circle so i hit it with a big hammer. 2003 Infiniti G35 Sport Sedan Build in Progress
speedball1978 Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 shoulda played them softly for a few weeks to break them in
disturb3d_pri3st Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 Clipping in itself won't kill a subwoofer, what size box did you have it in, probably is dead now due to mechanical failure, pics of install?

disturb3d_pri3st Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 There are actually plenty of technical write up's and test showing that clipping usually doesn't lead to the "blown" woofer, check out over at ssa and on google, just to name a few sources, eh I think distortion and bottoming out plus a crappy amp led to this death.

Excuse me? Clipping can cause a sub to blow! And wanging on them if they are brand new and have very stiff spiders it can cause issues too. Rest In Peace mother.

So what you are saying is I can stick a woofer in a properly built to spec enclosure run the rated power to it and clip the wave all to hell and it will be ok to slam and jam on? There are two ways for a woofer to fail mechanical and thermal. Clipping causes heat build up. Excessive heat causes burning coils burning coils causes blown subs. So yes the woofer suffered a thermal failure and that thermal failure was caused by clipping. Please don't go giving advice here.

I actually wasn't giving advice, I was making a statement, plus I never said it was okay, I just get sick of folks yelling clipping, the poster hasn't even told us what he was doing with the sub at the time of death.. how the hell do these guys know he clipped it to death.. hell he could have even wired it up wrong etc... don't go getting your panties in a bunch man.
