[QUOTE="Jcsaudio, post: 8634181, member: 673752"] Sorry Jeff but this one baffles me so I guess I do not understand Audio levels in song recordings. I get that some recordings are louder than others but there isn’t much I can do about that without getting crazy about it I guess. I would assume different amplifiers have different thermal capacity’s and even between different classes of amplifiers such as class AB vs Class D. Just the quality and design of an amplifier is a big factor there. Some amps get hot while under clipping and some can clip for a long time before they get hot. Where do you draw that line in terms of temperature for voice coils or amplifiers? It can’t be universal among brands right? How do you check voice coil temperature and what is considered hot? Just don’t get this nor have I ever heard of this one anywhere else. This **** is way over my head! I’m more intrigued as to why more people do not use this Small speaker method for clipping detection and why at least in my tenure here it hasn’t been recommended before knowing that it’s been known and around for 2 years according to someone above.
