[QUOTE="Ptown, post: 372902, member: 551641"] An amplifier tries to throw as much power into a resistance load as it can. Higher loads (4 ohms) restrict the amount of power delivered to the speakers, and therefore also allow the amplifier to run easier. That's why 1 ohm and .5ohm loads are dangerous to some amps with unregulated power supplies - cause the amp will just keep pushing harder until it overheats. Some amps are fully regulated for resistance, and deliver the same power into 1, 2, or 4 ohm loads. JL's slash series mono amps are like this - the 500/1 and 1000/1.
