[QUOTE="maylar, post: 11637, member: 541144"] The impedance rating of speaker voice coils is part of their design. You chose speakers and amps as a system, matching eact to the other. There is a lot of flexibility and it can seem complicated, but not really... With that amp you can run one 4 ohm speaker and the amp will deliver 500 watts. Or you can run two 4 ohm speakers in parallel (which makes 2 ohms) and get 1200 watts. Or you can run one speaker with dual 4 ohm voice coils in parallel and also get 1200 watts. Some speakers have dual voice coils and you can put them in series or parallel to whatever configuration you need to come up with the combined impedance to match the amp you want to use. [/QUOTE]
