[QUOTE="bubbagumper6, post: 7333698, member: 567719"] The only thing that happens when you [I]increase[/I] impedance is you cut your available power output down. The reason it's distorting is because your distorting the amplifier by trying to drive it too hard. So by changing the impedance your only going to gain volume increase which if the point at which it distorts is not loud enough for you, may be desirable. I'm also going to recommend you check your local laws, it's very very illegal to drive with headphones on in some states.... EDIT: Yeah just noticed your in Ohio (I am as well) and it's illegal here... [/QUOTE]
