[QUOTE="Carlos Doyle, post: 218659, member: 17117"] Hello. I've seen quite a few posts on other forums and facebook groups where people are claiming that under powering a speaker is very dangerous and can damage the speaker more than overpowering it. The explanation is added that under powering leads to clipping the amp and that will create a square wave that basically destroys the speaker. Something doesn't sound right to me, so I came here to ask the experts. Is this true? What's the whole story? What really destroys the speaker? I've personally under powered speakers before and haven't experienced any problems, but I've also kept things out of the red. [/QUOTE]
