[QUOTE="Rattlebrain, post: 914480, member: 548400"] I had a set up one time useing an Autotek 7100 BTS on 2 12" Crunch subs. I cant remeber all the specs on the amp or the subs but I do know that the amp was stable to at least 2 ohms and I think it may have been stable to 1. Here is the question: First set up I had with these subs, they were both 4ohm wired mono to a 2ohm load. They didnt sound good at all. I was expecting more power = better performance. Not the case here. I know the subs could handle the power. Second set up I changed the 4ohm subs out to 8ohm subs and wired them to 4ohms. Same box, same type of sub. Sounded much much better. Why? I hear everyone talking about running thier stuff at 1 or 2 ohms all the time. I just never understood why and since then I have only ran 4 ohms. I was just wondering if I was doing something wrong (i dont think I was) or what the deal is. [/QUOTE]
