Message: <blockquote data-quote="faceless127" data-source="post: 8065740" data-attributes="member: 653271">Do CEA Compliant amps test all ohm ranges? or just 4 ohms?  I ask because I wanna buy an amp that says its cea compliant and the ratings are for it 800 at 4 ohms, 1600 at 2 ohms, 2400 at 1 ohm.  It seems kinda sketchy that the wattage would double going down 1 ohm.  That's not how ohms law works.So my question is do CEA just test amps at 4 ohms or do they test at 1 ohm also?  CEA says they have a specific testing procedure and they only say 4 ohms so couldn't a site or manufacture go with the 4 ohm cea compliant rating of 800 and then bump up the 2 and 1 ohms ratings to what every they wanted?</blockquote>
