[QUOTE="MrWizzard, post: 1056725, member: 555489"] I know the Damping factor is the amps ability to control a speaker/sub, and i do know the sub and its enclosure certainly contributes to this..... But, i seen somplace the damping facor is lower depening on the impedance... say the Zapco at like >1000 damping factor at @4ohms would be >500 @2ohms and >250 @ 1ohm? is this correct? So, my main question is, does the impedance effect how well the amp can control the sub/speaker? or does the lower impedance mean it just dosent need as much damping factor to control it and would be the exact same at any impedance? like, would the amp have the same control of the sub at 4ohms as it would at 1 ohm with less the damping factor? or would it have less control? I'm looking to understand this a little so i can pickup a nice SQ amp and run it for SQ.... I was looking at the Zapco C2K 6.0 to run my XXX 12" dual 4ohm at 2ohms with around 1300 watts, but now i'm wondering if would have more control of the sub at 4ohms rather than 2ohms so i could just get an amp that will push 400-500 rms into both coils seperately at 4ohms....
