I was under the impression that the impedance rise was only affecting the current between the amp and the subwoofer... and that the nominal impedance (what the system is wired down to) stayed constant between the battery and the amp. Is that a wrong assumption? I honestly don't know. So what you're saying is that if I wire the system down to 1 ohm so the amplifier, on paper, is drawing the respective amperes of a 1 ohm load, it will only draw the respective amperes of a 1 ohm load + impedance rise? Meaning that it will draw less than a nominal 1 ohm load from the battery? Side note: the wire I have is good wire, OFC, none of that CCA ****.
