@critcal then please explain why my 50 watt amp is producing louder and cleaner sound than the any other amp ive wired/played/heard that is pushing 1500watts or less...

[criticallistenphile]

Um, no: "if it was a tube amp you would be able to push 40 watts and make it sound like 500 just because of the characteristics of the tubes themselves" That statement is absolutely ridiculous. 1 watt is 1 watt, whether it is a tube or transistor supplied watt. refer to "Law of Conservation of Energy". A speaker powered by a 40 watt transistor amp will not be louder than the same speaker powered by a 40 watt tube amp. Volume is energy-sound energy it doesn't increase magically.

Lmao i know what everyone is saying here... Maybe its the way im explainin thats all fucked up

[blazinloud]

dude, you have no idea what your talking about....heat is usually the main killer, clipping=distortion=heat=fail

[Monkeypumper420]

WOW!!!! Someone who actually knows what they are talking about! IMPOSSIBLE! Hey man you don't belong here, this is the place for retarded, stubborn cry babies remember? Lol!!!!

I thought intellegence was impossible to find here. I guess you learn something new everyday... Thanks for actually having a brain, unlike 999.9% of the others here...

You can blow your amp based on user error, not the rated power handling of the driver.

A clipped signal is no more damaging than a sine wave with equivalent total power. Square waves carry more power due to added harmonics to the fundamental frequency. If the new power of the square wave is in the functional power handling of the driver, the driver will be fine. Period. The shape of the waveform has NOTHING to do with it.

[Gary Cifers]

huh?? i never said that..... i do understand that power is power and i know how volume works.... but my point is ithat you can blow your amp by having a sub that requires more power than your amp is rated for and you also run the chance of blowing your subs on a clipped signal (depends also on the quality of the subs and how the voice coil is designed)

[immacomputer]

You are very wrong. If you hook up a 600 watt driver to a 600 watt amp, how much power do you think the driver sees when the volume is about 10% up? Do you think it sees 600 watts at 10% and 600 watts at 50% volume levels? If so, you need to back away from your keyboard.

Power is power and a 40 watt tube amp is going to have roughly the same output power as a 40 watt transistor amp. The difference is in the damping which will really only affect the driver around resonance.

[Gary Cifers]

Apparently you haven't experimented on audio equipment as much as i have... I can tell you from experience of several different subs that i have blown them on less than 1/4 of their rating... So don't assume i'm just blowing smoke up your ass when i say that because i have experienced it more than once and it wasn't because of a wiring fault...

NOW if it was a tube amp you would be able to push 40 watts and make it sound like 500 just because of the characteristics of the tubes themselves
