Default blowing speakers

i have 3 sets of old, crappy speakers laying around my garage...
theyre all stock speakers from cars i have put new speakers into.

im going to trash them, but before i did i was wondering if blowing them would hurt my amp at all.
i dont think it would, but i just wanted to make sure. screwing up a $300 investment doesnt sound very fun.
lol

just plug them into a wall

i would think the distortion to kill the speakers would hurt the amp wouldnt it, by setting the gain too high...

Clipping the amp would be bad for the amp and speakers. Plug them into the wall and flick the light switch. Take a video too lol.

he's right....blowing your speakers won't hurt anything...except the speakers

plug em in and turn everything on the amp all the way up and turn the crossovers to full...

oh and why do u want to blow them before your throw them away?

If you turn the gain all teh way up you might blow your amp and your speakers.

you won't blow the amp i've done it before...

theres some speakers/deck combinations that would require you to turn the gain all the way up to get the best of the amp...the amp just dishes it out and if the speakers can't take it they blow

There is NO deck/amp combination to turn the gain ALL the way up. When I had a Pioneer and JLs (2volt preout on the Pioneer) I had my JL gains not even halfway and they were at full potential.

If you turnt he gain all the way up on any amp it will clip.
