I'll say no more.

you don't have to you already stated it was the HEAT that killed the
speaker the distortion was just a means to generate the heat put a 100%
distored signal from a 1 watt amp into a 600 watt woofer and you will
not live long enough to see it burn out. its NOT the distortion, it's
the HEAT Distortion is simply one way to obtain heat, so is a blow torch
and so is a clean signal with too many watts behind it

So a 1 watt power amp and 600 watt speakers is your formula to prevent
speaker damage under all conditions?
You must have very large arms.
