I didn't say it...I nut shelled Manville Smith of JL Audio, Mark Eldridge of JL Audio and multi IASCA world champion, and Andy Wehmeyer of Harman Kardon.

Did you read the link? No offense....those guys know what they are talking about......and they specifically mention distortion/clipping.

Let me quote Mark Eldridge for you
"Too much power is the ONLY thing that will destroy a well built speaker. Too high a peak power can cause it to move too far, and cause mechanical failure. Too much RMS power for too long will cause thermal failure.

A clipped signal will not damage any speaker, if it is at a level low enough so that the heat can be dissipated, and it doesn't move far enough to mechanically damage it. "

 

It dosen't work that way....all other Theiele parameters the same....a speaker with 100 watts of handling will be just as loud at 200 watts of handling if pwered by the same amp.

 

Now that kinda cant happen.. unless your running a cheapo amp.. Clipping is ussually only at a higher volume... So heat wont dissipate..
They just worded there sentence to make it sound that signal cant damage a speaker, but they specifically say "low enough" but they dont mention when the volume is at a higher level.. Cause once its at a high level and there is clipping then the distortion will destroy the speaker.. No matter if your running 10 watts or 100 watts.

My statement still stands.

If you dont believe me try it urself.. It wont take more that 5 mins..

 

92dB sensitivity...it's ok, but not the best for a noisy droptop. Grab some Infinity Reference speakers to power off the HU.

 

im no audiophile, but i found infinity reference component speakers powered just fine with my pioneer head unit 7600mp. much improved over 02 speakers.

btw i recommend putting the crossover at the -3db setting.
