[QUOTE="Bumpin' Goalie, post: 7315284, member: 616941"] An amp will only run at the ohm load presented to it by the speakers. Thus, if your drivers wire down to 2.67, even an amp that is stable @ 1 ohm, will be running @ 2.67 ohm, and producing as much power as it does @ 2.67. The only thing separating a 1 ohm and 2 ohm stable amplifier is how they are rated, and what is a safe impedance to run them at. For example: An AQ 1200d gives 1200rms @ 1 ohm, but would be closer to 600 @ 2.67 ohms. A Kicker ZX500.1 is not 1 ohm stable, but will produce 500rms @ 2 ohms, which is its main rating. Impedance is a variable that affects power. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
