[QUOTE="bigblank69, post: 8677384, member: 571469"] Well in theory.... They are correct about the lower impedance generating more heat. You have to remember wire is rated to amperage, not wattage and this is true on Voice Coils as well. The amperage running along Voice Coil on a Subwoofer is higher.. For example... For 1000W a 1 ohm load would be 33.3V x 33.3A (rounded up), for 4 ohms it would be 63.3V X 15.825A. Now go look at AC Wire rated at 16amps vs 33 amps... An interesting test would be to wire a DVC 2 Ohm Sub and See how long it lasts running @ 1 Ohm and @ 4 Ohms [/QUOTE]
