You do not need to over excursion loudspeakers to cause damage to much power can cause voice coils to melt they are dam close to melting in most conventional loudspeaker designs to begin with. So doesn't take much extra to cause damage. 100 watts into most any transducer is or near causing a melt down in voice coils. Most VC use glue this can melt before metal, hot cool cycles will eventually cause a open circuit since coil is broke no connection. I have seen this damage in modern loudspeakers far more than any other type of damage except physical ie drop smash cones pushed in.
Can you overpower a speaker
Hi there I am curious if it is possible to overpower a speaker. I want to bridge 2 200 watt a channel amps that are stable to one ohm into a pair of legacy focus 20/20's or a pair of mezzo utopias.
Id love to go VTL MB450's but man thats expensive, im sure worth it. I have read up and down the conrad johnson mf 200 is 2 and one ohm stable and if it can be bridged would put out whatever the wall will allow. I want ungodly amounts of power is that so bad? will it work.
