Buddy was asking me this the other day. Sadly i dunno what exactly causes this. Is it just too much power going to a speaker (subs) or is it too high of gain and pushing the speaker to hard? or a combination of both?

If clipping which produces more power but less movement doesn't...
And overdriving a subwoofer IE too much power.....
Deos not heat up a coil to the point of burning it does then what does?

most of the time too much power will not kill woofers but yes if the driver is ran for a certain amount of time it may damage the coils , thus clipping will also damage the speaker quicker than u can say " snap crackle pop "

So not enough cooling, too much power, or both; a square or severly clipped wave can cause it.
