I tried to kill 2 topics in one thread so i'll start again here. Through an unfortunate incident, i believe my speakers and sub have "clipped". At least this is what i think. Without explaining the details about how this happened, the volume on my receiver was pressed a little hard and both my speakers and sub made a nasty popping sound (bottoming out i assume) and i was wondering if this may have caused any permanent damage to the drivers. The sub and speakers sound ok but im hesitant to press them too hard after this happened. My questions are: When speakers clip are they always damaged by it? Can they become slightly damaged leading to problems down the road (ie. sounding good now and crapping out in the near future)? Or if they sound ok are they fine, and i should just avoid such and incident like this happening again like the plague? Or should i have someone look at them?

Thanks,

Wayne
