almost sounds closley related to the myth of not enough power blowing speakers to me

in this myth rail sag and clipping under heavy draw will increase power to the voice coil... and likewise cause an increased load on psu fets... (regulated and unregulated both in the case of clipping)...... But again it is asinine to suggest that more power (voltage) delivery will prevent damage..... and any one with an EE background will tell you that an amp is more likely to blow while puking its guts out in a SPL burp off a bank of 100 batteries then it is off a single battery.......


some may still disagree, but based on the wide variety of failure modes an amp can die under, I seriously doubt anyone here has any sort of conclusive evidence that supports the theory of voltage drop killing amplifers... (which is certainly to the contrary IMO as well as in the opinion of other EE types I know who post on similar forums)


On the otherhand I would agree that burping your amp at 100% + duty at reduced loads will increase your odds of letting out the majik smoke.... As will feeding it 16+ volts during the burp.....

unregulated supplied or regulated below 12V... stick a clamp on em and they pull less current with less voltage.... so what is blowing the amp other then driving it hard to begin with ???
