[QUOTE="DirtySchemer, post: 357782, member: 550163"] I just downsized my vehicle from a Tahoe to an Accord... In the tahoe, I was running 2 IDQ12's (4 ohms each), however I would like to downsize to only one sub in the Accord. I tried just using one of the 12's and running my amp at 4 ohms. This caused a significant (and unacceptable) decrease in SPL. If I were to purchase a new 12 that presented a 2 ohm load, would I get that significant boost in SPL again or do I need to have the cone area? So, essentially I'd like to hear people's opinions on whether there is a significant difference between 400 watts running to: - 1 2 ohm 12" sub, or - 2 4 ohm 12" subs parralleled to 2 ohms? Thank you for the opinions. [/QUOTE]
