I’m curious how close the woofers test after GPA is done with them.

Re amp clipping: I always drove my pro amps into light clipping doing small shows for the band that I was in. And even at home when I had less efficient speakers. No amp or speaker damage ever occurred. If you drove the amps into heavy clipping I would think the speakers would be damaged first, as your nice sine wave turned into a squarish wave.
The amp should be able to handle a square wave. Hell, I’ve heard you can weld with an Ashly amp.

Lol, just thinking about it. I used to turn my amps up into clipping and then turn them down slightly.
