Do all channels output the same ohms?

[QUOTE="Boomin_tahoe, post: 8674967, member: 562180"] I've had a few 5 ch amps in the past and currently on my 3rd one right now. What determines running a lower ohm load to your amp that will change impedances and more power is how you wire your sub and/or speakers for a final impedance. For instance: The sub ch on my amp is 250 @ 4 ohms, 450 @ 2 ohm and 600 @ 1 ohm. All these ratings are for 12.5 so it's underrated. My sub is dual 2 ohm. I have it wired to a final impedance of 1 ohm....wired to the amp and will make the most power from it that way. Pushing around 800-850 watts @ 1 ohm. So to answer your question, your stuck on running that sub on 4 ohm....unless it was dvc then you would have more wiring options. I'd buy a dvc sub if I was you and sell that one. [/QUOTE]
