[QUOTE="Savant, post: 189272, member: 546108"] Actually, I've learned a lot.. and if you 'carefully' read the statement and know what perse' means, you will see that I was working on the premise of the subs being seperate entities from the amp, and in that context trying to show that the resistence of the sub is NOT DEPENDANT on the amp.. Further down I also explain that the output of the amp is DIRECTLY EFFECTED by the resistence of the sub.. Perhaps I could have worded it a bit more clearly, but it's not an easy thing to try and explain in a short post.. that's why most people send someone off to one of the sites with hundreds of pages of info to learn some of the basics.. Not sure if there is anything in there directed toward me or not.. I'll presume that since you included my statement about power handling that there is... My point on power handling is this... the resistence of the sub has NOTHING to do with it's power rating (perse').. you can put 500 watts into a 2 ohm 500 watt sub.. the exact same 500 watts into a 4 ohm 500 watt sub.. they both run the same.. that's what I was getting at.. As far as the amp.. if it really is 1 ohm stable, then all of this is moot.. even if it's a DVC 2 ohm, he'd be at 1 ohm in parallel and be ok.. provided he adjusted the gains to not blow the sub (if needed)..
