[QUOTE="Jeff, post: 50054, member: 541909"] It depends on what ohm subs you have and how they are wired to the amp. For example, two 4 ohm subs wired in stereo are just that, two 4 ohm loads. But if you wire those two subs in parallel to one channel, you will get a single 2 ohm load, or in series a single 8 ohm load. Wiring subs in parallel equates to doubling the amount of "wire" (cross-section area)in the circuit, thus reducing the resistance to half. Wiring subs in series doubles the length of the "wire" in the circuit, doubling the resistance. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
