Overloading the amplifier (clipping) The term clipping describes a situation in which the signal peak is cut off, or clipped, when the amplifier is over-loaded. The distortion to the amplifier output signal which occurs as a result of clipping is very high in energy, but is usually of very high frequency. In some circumstances the distortion is inaudible, but is still capable of wreking a loudspeaker within a few seconds. As a basic rule, an amplifier with a higher output power will reach its clipping threshold later. You are therefore less likely to damage a loudspeaker by clip-ping if you use a powerful amplifier. There are many amplifiers which reduce the danger of clipping by special circuitry which produces what is sometimes termed "soft clipping". However, the best protection against this destructive problem is an amplifier fitted with a clipping protection circuit, which switches off the speaker output immediately if clipping should occur. Such an amplifier provides effective protection for the loudspeakers without affecting the quality of sound. All ? amplifiers are fitted with a Protection circuit, which protects the speakers from clipping in this effective manner. if the deck has clipping protection, maybe youre alright, but from the sounds of it, it doesnt. sure, check the mounting, any other vibrating structures, make sure the cone hasnt detached from the surround, but that stuff wont kill eqip. clipping will. when you clip, your amp is essentially producing a straight DC current, not a wave form. if youre lucky, nothing will happen, but mostlikely, youll melt your speakers, and as a result, drop your resistance and fry your amp [Report message to a moderator]
