im not gonna argue with you. I work at a stereo store. If you remotely know anything about stereos, you should know something cant be blown by under powering it........look it up, its all a myth. I hear this story all the time. research before you reply to me. YOU CANNOT BLOW A SUB BY UNDERPOWERING IT!!!
So you work in a store.
Thats great
So do I and I pretty much take insult to even insinuating that I don't know anything about audio.
Been doing this for 11 years, MECP Certified
so
yea underpowering will lead to a sub blowing up.
Underpowering causes clipping. Clipping causes heat.
Running a sub underpowered also means that sub can not disipate its heat by reaching a decent excursion.
Long story short you have a blown woofer.
You most cases will have an amp good for only about a quarter to half the power the sub requires, bridged down as low as it can go and all the bass controls fully throttled. Pushing nothing but distortion. Therefore ruining the sub.
Can a good amp ran in stereo equalling about half the power the sub requires run that sub safetly.
Yes it can as long as the sub is not run into distortion. Try to make it do what it cant then kaboom.
You will soon learn that sombodies theory of clipping on paper does not apply to the real world. I see it every day.
It's kinda funny how Alpine still puts in all their manuals to not clip the amp cuz it will damage the woofer.
Hey wtf do they know.
