    underpowering a sub does not blow it. People that dont properly set gains, go crazy with the volume knob and add bass boost blow subs. Clipping the amp and/or head unit is why subs are mostly blown.
    i know all bout clipping and agree. but clipping can be induced faster if the amp is plain not able to push the wattage the large sub needs.

    everything else being equal the amp is going to clip at the same time no matter what sub is hooked up to it.
