[QUOTE="Tim Weaver, post: 140405, member: 317"] Re: Under powering speakers The AVERAGE amount of power (heat) that the voice coil has dissipate increases when you are clipping the amp. However, if that amount of voltage is still under what the speaker can tolerate you could do that all day long. It just turns your voice coil into tiny space heaters. By using larger amps you can supply (maybe over supply) enough voltage for the peaks in the music, but the average amount of power will be far less. Basically it will hit harder and sound cleaner, right up until you launch the cones into orbit. And this is the great balancing act we all face. [/QUOTE]
