Fisrt off, I have an Associate of Applied Science in Electronics/Industrial Electronics and my experience in 25 years as an electronics technician has included designing and building my own amplifiers, audio system installs, custom carputer installs, etc.
I can assure you a few things you are mistaken on.
There are ONLY three things that damage a speaker:
exceeding thermal limits
exceeding mechanical limits
material degradation
Distortion is NOT related to any of these. You are confusing "clipping" and "distortion". They are NOT the same thing.
A capacitor WON'T increase bass.

See my response.
I know this isn't a question, but this "answerer" needs to be stopped before someone actually takes his advice and causes damage to themsleves or their equipment. You can report me if you feel the need, but I'm just trying to look out for you, the innocent.

I'm sure there are a few people who can verify what I say.

Something esle I forgot to mention, he also clearly ststed that, "POWER does not kill a woofer...distortion does."
How crazy is this?!?! I would expect sending 500 watts to a 100 watt speaker would cause damage!

Here's the proof again for those who want to know the truth.
HardThinker suggested a capacitor will improve bass here:

...and then there's these people who agree with me about his misconceptions. The REAL "installers that use Yahoo!":

...and finally here, he suggests, "POWER does not kill a woofer...distortion does" and is proven wrong:

Just like John Doe, I do not always agree with you Sparky. But I am behind you on this. Some of the things he says is just outrageous.
