  • reread my post, 100 watts of clipped signal is just that, 100 watts. It doesn't matter what the signal looks like, whether its a perfect sine wave or a square wave, if the power received over a period

  • If the amp is distorting due to clipping you can easily hear it. If the sub is reaching thermal or mechanical limit, you can easily hear or smell that as well. No need to get out the calculators here.

  • use your ears to set it. using test tones is typically way too conservative and leaves output on the table.  if you hear distortion or smell glue melting then turn it down. its that simple. the num

No, the voltage isn't constant. It goes up and down with the volume and the audio signal that's being played. The 2v, 4v or whatever rated signal is the maximum rated output of the circuit. 

He knows that, was asking Billy Jack the know it all did he know the answer.

 

 

I dont understand how this dude still thinks he is right after multiple people in every thread correct him, shit is actually hilarious. Troll on Billy, troll on

Yeah , I definitely missed who said it.  I thought it was the op when I replied. 

As for the other stuff, I've seen a few others over the years try to prove him wrong. Some finally open their minds and understand, some just ignore him, and others get mad and leave. I'm just sitting on the sideline waiting to see which way it happens in this instance. 

Perhaps you could excessively boost the sub with the EQ to an audible clipping level for a short burst, to get a true test of the sound you are looking for. Shift through from 30hz to 80hz, with the boost. You might even find you are only lacking output at a certain frequency, not that the sub is lacking output overall.
