[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 8069437, member: 549629"] Ohms is a measure of resistance. The amplifier has a specific 'pushing force' (watts), but how much the object that is being pushed resists this force (ohms) directly affects the over all work created (final wattage produced). Knowing this, lets pretend you have 2 boulders to roll up a hill. One boulder is twice the size/weight of the other. Your question about amplifier wattage is similar to if you would ask if your muscles would recognize the weight difference between the two boulders. There is no 'recognizing', the amp simply pushes, and the speaker resists. So like mylows10 said, no, the amplifier does not have any setting that needs to be changed to operate at a specific ohm load. Much like your muscles push each boulder with the same force, but the weight differences mean the over all speed you are able to roll each boulder will automatically change. Hope that helps.
