Hey Richard. . . .Long time since you have been around here!!! how are things at Ford? it has been 2 years since I left there and I sure do miss it!!

Question for you: While the voice coil may not be burned by clipping, I always thought damage could still come from the driver cone moving out of control as the wave form was cut at the peaks and started to look like DC. coil rubbing, spider damage, surround damage. I guess these problem would also depend on the box design (actual mechanical power handling vs. thermal power handling), but sending a clipped signal to the driver does not help . . .not true?

thanks!
Brian
