[QUOTE="Gary S, post: 3182991, member: 568291"] 1 ohm or two ohm makes absolutely no difference, it simply depends on what load the amplifier was designed for, what the amp circuits were optimized for. Everything else being equal, an amp built for and running in 1 - ohm will behave exactly the same as an amp designed for and running in 2 - ohms. If there was one optimum ohm load for for all amps to be run at, all amps would be built the same. Simply buy an amp that is optimized for the load you will run it in - or the reverse - chose your speaker ohm load to fit the amp. [/QUOTE]
