[QUOTE="Larrydehp920r, post: 95039, member: 541954"] I totally disagree with this statement. When you run an amp at 2 ohms you will get more distortion along with that more power. More power isn't necessarily cleaner. Yes, 100 watts @ 4ohms is better than 50 watts @ 4 ohms. But 100 watts @ 2 ohms is not cleaner in any way, shape or form than 100 watts @ 4 ohms. The reason class d amps are ran at 2 ohms is because of the power supplies are made to do so. Not to mention they are used for subs and distortion is less audible. So for sound quality it DOES matter. Thats why 99% of mids and highs and full range speakers are 4 ohm or even higher resistance.
